About this Research Topic
The primary aim of this Research Topic is to collate a series of original research and review articles that illustrate the cutting-edge use of AI in harnessing multimodal data for predictive modeling across the diverse sub-specialties of orthopedics. The goal is to enhance diagnostic accuracy, prognostic prediction, and therapeutic decision-making in orthopedics through the development and application of AI-driven models. Additionally, the Research Topic seeks to address the ethical implications and practical challenges of integrating AI-based multimodal prediction models into everyday clinical practice.
The scope of this Research Topic is defined by its focus on AI-based multimodal prediction modeling in orthopedic surgery. We welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• The development and application of AI-driven models that leverage multimodal data in orthopedics;
• The ethical implications and practical challenges of integrating AI-based multimodal prediction models into clinical practice;
• Case studies or research showcasing the role of AI-based multimodal models in personalized patient care;
• Methods for addressing data scarcity challenges in AI research, including strategies for data augmentation, synthetic data generation, and transfer learning in orthopedic surgery.
Keywords: Orthopedic Surgery, Artificial Intelligence, Multimodal Prediction, Therapeutic Decision-Making, Personalized Patient Care
