Abstract
Background: Knowledge and skill enhancement of post graduate students is crucial in Orthopedic Residency training. The conventional Methods of training are based on apprenticeship and methods of assessment are very subjective and time consuming. However, incorporation of different AI techniques can help in reforming orthopedic education and training by an Algorithm based simulators with the assistance of other computational programs. Therefore, this article has been aimed to discuss the status of utility of AI based techniques in orthopaedic surgical training and education.
Methodology: Total 24 research articles have been reviewed. Articles were searched from electronic database like PubMed, Medline and Google Scholar. Artificial intelligence, orthopaedic training, Machine learning and simulations were the key words used to ease the search process.
Results & Discussion: Out of 24, 13 articles were selected for writing this article further as those were considered more relevant to the topic. After reviewing all relevant literature, the utility of AI techniques in orthopaedic training can be discussed under following subheadings: i) Artificial intelligence based simulation techniques ii) AI based diagnostic support: iii) Special considerations during pandemic and iv) Limitations of the technique and future applications.
Conclusion: Since last decade, researchers have been designing many studies to validate and establish the AI and machine learning techniques as an important training tool for orthopaedic trainees. These computational techniques have great potential to develop highly effective patient specific simulators to enhance the training and support the assessments. Adequate changes in the curriculum are required to use AI based techniques as the learning tools.
