Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances in healthcare, encompassing robust applications for the diagnosis and prognostication of musculoskeletal diseases, clinicians must increasingly understand the implications of machine learning and deep learning in their practice. This review article explores computer vision algorithms and patient-specific, multimodal prediction models; provides a simple framework to guide discussion on the limitations of AI model development; and introduces the field of generative AI.
