Machine Learning Algorithm for Knee Arthroplasty Loosening Detection
Overview
Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong developed an images-based machine learning algorithm that allows detection of knee arthroplasty loosening with high accuracy and predictability.
Technical name of innovation
Knee Arthroplasty Loosening Automatic Detection System
Research completion
2023
Problem addressed
Detection of loosening with high sensitivity, which facilitate early detection of loosening, thus allow prompt intervention to help prevent further damage and improve patient outcome.
Innovation
- By uploading an X-ray image, the detection will then demonstated
- Heat map will also generate to locate which area most likely to occur loosening
Key impact
- Accurate quantification of the level of loosening can help clinicians make better decisions about whether to revise an implant or continue monitoring.
- Reduce burden on healthcare systems and workloads for surgeons
