Abstract

There has been a large increase in research studies in orthopaedics that use artificial intelligence (AI). While powerful, AI techniques bring their own strengths, weaknesses, and nuances that may be unfamiliar to clinicians. In this article, we present some of the best practices for reporting orthopaedics research that use AI.

Keywords: AI; artificial intelligence; deep learning; guidelines; machine learning; orthopedics.
