Article Synopsis
- - This study compares the accuracy and readability of answers to common questions about bunion surgery from Google and two versions of ChatGPT (3.5 and 4.0).
- - The analysis involved recording questions from Google and assessing the word count and reading ease of responses using specific algorithms.
- - Results showed that ChatGPT provided longer answers than Google, with significant differences in readability, and both exceeded the typical reading level for U.S. seventh to eighth graders.
Background: ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence technology, has the potential to be a useful patient aid, though the accuracy and appropriateness of its responses and recommendations on common hand surgical pathologies and procedures must be understood. Comparing the sources referenced and characteristics of responses from ChatGPT and an established search engine (Google) on carpal tunnel surgery will allow for an understanding of the utility of ChatGPT for patient education.
Methods: A Google search of "carpal tunnel release surgery" was performed and "frequently asked questions (FAQs)" were recorded with their answer and source.
Background: Animal models play an important role in studying posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) disease progression. Different models exist, such as destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgical transection (ACLs), and noninvasive ACL rupture.
Purpose: To study the effects of PTOA on nociception in 3 different murine models and to relate these findings to macroscopic and microscopic changes in joint tissues.
Muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration have been directly correlated with higher rates of incomplete or failed healing following surgical repair of the rotator cuff. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinically relevant functional and morphological changes in the supraspinatus muscle at various time points in this model of rotator cuff tendinopathy. Subacromial impingement was induced in 47, male C57BL/6 mice (total 94 limbs) by implantation of a metal clip in the subacromial space.
