Popis: The purpose of this study is to assess the viability of a knee arthroplasty prediction model using 3-view X-rays that helps determine if patients with knee pain are candidates for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), or are not arthroplasty candidates.Analysis was performed using radiographic and surgical data from a high-volume joint replacement practice. The dataset included 3 different X-ray views (anterior-posterior, lateral, and sunrise) for 2,767 patients along with information of whether that patient underwent an arthroplasty surgery (UKA or TKA) or not. This resulted in a dataset including 8,301 images from 2,707 patients. This dataset was then split into a training set (70%) and holdout test set (30%). A computer vision model was trained using a transfer learning approach. The performance of the computer vision model was evaluated on the holdout test set. Accuracy and multiclass receiver operating characteristic area under curve was used to evaluate the performance of the model.The artificial intelligence model achieved an accuracy of 87.8% on the holdout test set and a quadratic Cohen's kappa score of 0.811. The multiclass receiver operating characteristic area under curve score for TKA was calculated to be 0.97; for UKA a score of 0.96 and for No Surgery a score of 0.98 was achieved. An accuracy of 93.8% was achieved for predicting Surgery versus No Surgery and 88% for TKA versus not TKA was achieved.The artificial intelligence/machine learning model demonstrated viability for predicting which patients are candidates for a UKA, TKA, or no surgical intervention.
