Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how effectively an AI-powered app can determine the correct size for a prefabricated wrist splint without requiring in-person fittings, addressing obstacles like geographical barriers to accessing care.
- - In a trial with 54 healthy volunteers, the AI predicted splint sizes with 70% accuracy, which improved to 90% if including the next size category; traditional manufacturer sizing was only 33% accurate.
- - The findings suggest that using AI for remote brace fitting could be a viable alternative to current methods, as the accuracy of the AI predictions improves with more data input from patients.
Background: Kirschner wires (K-wires) are commonly utilized for temporary metatarsal and phalangeal fixation following forefoot procedures. K-wires can remain in place for up to 6 weeks postoperatively and are at risk for complications. This study investigated the incidence of infectious complications of exposed K-wires after forefoot surgery and identifies risk factors for these complications.
