Objective:
To investigate the progress and status of the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in orthopedics and highlight the current hot research areas.
Methods:
A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the PubMed database, covering the period from 2010 to 2024. The R software (version 4.2.0) was used for the bibliometric analysis.
Results:
A total of 112 articles related to AI and orthopedics have been published, demonstrating a consistent upward trend in research output. Hot keywords, such as "machine learning", "deep learning", "ChatGPT", "3D printing", and "arthroplasty", were frequent occurring terms. While most countries engaged in extensive collaborative networks, the frequency of these partnerships remained relatively limited.
Conclusion:
The influence of AI in the field of orthopedics has been growing. This impact may signify the historic onset of the AI era in orthopedics, with milestones being set along the path from precision diagnostics to targeted treatments.
