#orthotwitter: The number of companies developing artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools for orthopedic surgeons and physicians is rapidly expanding. How does #AI fit into your current practice? If using an AI-based tool, comment recommendations below! If not using, why not?

Honored for the chance to provide insight on the future of #AI in orthopedics with Nicholas Pulos, MD on the J Hand Surg Am- ASSH podcast! Thanks Brent Graham for the engaging discussion and chance to discuss our research in more depth! #orthotwitter Link to podcast👇 jhandsurg.org/audio-do/jhs-p…

Honored to have our research featured as the lead article in the May 2024 issue! With Kyle N. Kunze, MD Ayoosh Pareek Nicholas Pulos, MD Peter Charles Rhee, DO Mayo Clinic HSS Education Institute jhandsurg.org/article/S0363-…

However, still substantial need for developers to define a priori whether the goal of the #AI model is to improve 1) performance on difficult tasks (i.e., occult fractures) or 2) efficiency on routine tasks. Training and validation should be designed accordingly. #orthotwitter

In this Arthroscopy Journal study of early surgery for Capitellar OCD -Surgery ⬆️ expensive vs non-op -Surgery ⬆️ quality-adjusted life-years -Early surgery MORE cost effective in 69% of patients Not all pts need early surgery, but it is cost effective. 💪 ➡️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Without thresholds for what constitutes a "fragile" vs. "robust" trial, a statistical fallacy involving the "fragility index" has perpetuated throughout the orthopedic literature. Check out our recent Arthroscopy Journal article to understand why👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.arth… #orthotwitter

What are the most important factors to consider when deciding whether to realign vs. replace for patellofemoral OA? Check out our algorithmic approach comparing tibial tubercle osteotomy to patellofemoral arthroplasty. #orthotwitter Seth L Sherman, MD doi.org/10.1016/j.otsm…

What is the most cost-effective treatment strategy for high-level pitchers with partial MUCL tears? We built a Markov model using microsimulation and the best evidence from the literature to find out. Results just published in our latest @AJSM_SportsMed study. #orthotwitter

In this machine learning-based study, we found that pitch-tracking metrics were more predictive of future shoulder/elbow injury in MLB pitchers than workload or demographics. Huge implications as we seek to balance injury risk with performance demand: doi.org/10.1177/232596…

Arthroscopic labral repair is cost-effective for primary anterior shoulder dislocations in current willingness-to-pay perspectives. ow.ly/2T9N50UcaNs Jacob Oeding, PhD Dr. Aaron J. Krych Christopher Camp, MD Adam J. Tagliero

How to manage partial tears of MUCL in throwers? This study: early surgery may be more cost effective and increase career length for many Early surgery is not always the goal, but it can be quickest path for many. Link 👉 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03… #SaveTheElbows #MayoClinic

Surgery vs. Non-op treatment after a first time shoulder dislocation is controversial. This study suggests early surgery is more cost effective w/ higher quality of life in high risk patients. 👀 at this Markov/Monte Carlo model⬇️ Full text👉 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…

Pitch tracking metrics (velo/spin rate) more predictive of injury than player demographics/workload. What ⬆️ performance can also ⬆️ injury risk. This is why injuries are up & will stay up. Every decision has trade-off #SaveTheElbows Learn more👉 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23…

New in AJSM: PRP vs alternative injections for knee OA—what does the evidence say? Jacob F. Oeding, PhD, uses a statistical fragility index to evaluate RCT strength in a new meta-analysis. ow.ly/iO1W50Wwm28 #Orthopaedics #SportsMedicine
