The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise the pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative stages of orthopaedic surgery. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the role and effectiveness of AI in Orthopedic surgery. We compare the outcomes of AI-assisted and conventional surgery by focusing on the implementation of AI tools in the prediction, diagnosis and robot-assisted surgery. The results of the review and meta-analysis showed high accuracy in prediction outcomes, diagnosis and classification based on medical image analysis. However, the meta-analysis revealed longer operative times with robot-assisted surgery. Additionally, while robotics achieved enhanced implant positioning accuracy, definitive advantages in functional outcomes over conventional surgery were not observed. Future work should focus on extensive follow-up to validate the long-term advantages of AI-assisted procedures in orthopaedic surgery.

人工智能在骨科手术中的应用：系统评价和荟萃分析

人工智能（AI）的整合有可能彻底改变骨科手术的术前、术中和术后阶段。我们进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析，以研究人工智能在骨科手术中的作用和有效性。我们通过重点关注人工智能工具在预测、诊断和机器人辅助手术中的实施来比较人工智能辅助和传统手术的结果。综述和荟萃分析的结果表明，基于医学图像分析的预测结果、诊断和分类具有很高的准确性。然而，荟萃分析显示机器人辅助手术的手术时间更长。此外，虽然机器人技术提高了种植体定位的准确性，但与传统手术相比，在功能结果方面并未观察到明显的优势。未来的工作应侧重于广泛的随访，以验证人工智能辅助手术在骨科手术中的长期优势。
