Core Tip

Core Tip: Artificial intelligence has some very interesting applications in orthopedic surgery (including pediatric orthopedics), which orthopedic surgeons (including pediatric orthopedic surgeons) should be aware of and if possible use. However, although some interesting advances have been made recently on Ai in orthopedic surgery, its usefulness in clinical practice is still very limited.
