AI Surgery in Orthopedics
摘要
The framework of computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in industrial technology has been naturally applied to orthopedic surgery since the early days of computer-assisted surgery. This chapter describes how AI can bring a paradigm shift of the conventional surgical CAD/CAM framework in orthopedics. AI will optimize and automate the CAD/CAM framework through inference based on comprehensive patient and therapeutic models. These models will be learned from the database of the whole process of orthopedic surgery constructed by the surgical data science (SDS) framework, which will be progressively improved in a closed-loop manner. Toward the comprehensive patient and therapeutic modeling, two aspects of modeling, (1) patient modeling and (2) surgery/therapeutic modeling, are discussed.
