Published: April 1994

In the frame of multiple injuries we had 30% of the fractures of the femur. We treated 113 patients with polytraumas with fractures of the femur and with the plate. We had 25% AIS grade 1, 48% AIS grade 2, 21% AIS grade 3 and 6% AIS grade 4. Mortality was 4%. Indications for osteosynthesis with plate are: severe head injuries, fractures of the pelvis, open fractures, injuries of the nerves and blood vessels and severe trauma of the abdomen.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare, particularly in orthopedics, by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, surgical planning, and personalized treatment. This review explores current applications of AI in orthopedics, focusing on its contributions to diagnostics and surgical procedures. Key methodologies such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), support vector machines (SVMs), and ensemble learning have significantly improved diagnostic precision and patient care.
