Critical Reflections on Artificial Intelligence Applications in Orthopedics and Traumatology

Öz

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly integrated into orthopedic and traumatology practice, offering significant potential in imaging analysis, surgical planning, complication prediction, and rehabilitation. Recent studies demonstrate that AI can improve diagnostic accuracy in fracture classification, implant identification, and postoperative risk assessment, thereby supporting clinical decision‑making and personalized treatment approaches. However, limitations such as dataset bias, lack of contextual interpretation, and ethical concerns—including patient privacy and data security—must be carefully addressed. AI should not be considered a standalone solution but rather a complementary tool to human expertise. Ensuring clinical validation, ethical compliance, and equitable access will be essential for the effective and responsible integration of AI into orthopedic and traumatology disciplines.

Etik Beyan

No ethics committee approval was obtained for this study. The nature of the research is based on a critical review of the existing literature and an evaluation of bibliometric indicators. Since the study does not involve experimental research, clinical practice, or observational data collection involving human or animal subjects, ethics approval is not required. Only previously published scientific articles were used as sources, and the analysis was limited to secondary evaluation and conceptual discussion. At no stage of the research were personal data, patient information, or experimental interventions included. Ethical principles were observed throughout the process, and the study was conducted within the framework of academic integrity. The primary aim of this work is to highlight the limitations of current metrics and draw attention to alternative approaches in academic assessment. In this context, the study constitutes a theoretical and methodological evaluation rather than an empirical investigation requiring ethical approval.
