Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Large language models like ChatGPT offer initial insights into orthopedic procedures such as trigger finger release. However, AI-generated medical information requires validation by healthcare providers due to occasional inaccuracies and advanced reading levels.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Medical Information Dissemination

Background:

  • Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are increasingly used for medical information retrieval.
  • Concerns exist regarding the accuracy and quality of AI-generated health content.
  • Limited research has evaluated LLM performance for specific orthopedic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the accuracy, clarity, and readability of ChatGPT 4.0 responses to patient questions about trigger finger release.
  • To evaluate the suitability of AI-generated content for patient understanding in orthopedic care.

Main Methods:

  • Ten common patient questions on trigger finger release were sourced from Google's 'People also ask'.
  • ChatGPT 4.0 responses were analyzed for accuracy using a four-point scale by two independent reviewers.

  • Readability was assessed using the Flesch-Kincaid scale to determine the required education level.

    • Main Results:

    • ChatGPT responses averaged a score of 1.9, indicating generally satisfactory to excellent accuracy with minor clarifications needed.
    • One response was incorrect, and occasional factual inaccuracies, particularly in treatment recommendations, were noted.
    • The average readability was at a 12th-grade level, exceeding the recommended 7th-8th-grade level for patient materials.

    Conclusions:

    • ChatGPT can be a valuable starting point for patient education on orthopedic procedures like trigger finger release.
    • Healthcare providers must guide patients in critically evaluating AI-generated content to ensure medical accuracy and enhance health literacy.
    • Further research is needed to improve the reliability and patient-appropriateness of AI-driven medical information.
