Cross-procedure generalisation of an AI algorithm for surgical step prediction: from distal radius to fibula osteosynthesis

Key Points

• Surgical step prediction using the AI algorithm demonstrates effective cross-procedure generalisation.
• The algorithm accurately predicts steps for both distal radius and fibula osteosynthesis, improving surgical planning.
• Analysis identified similarities in surgical paths, enhancing the algorithm's predictive capability across different surgeries.
• Implications support using AI for diverse surgical procedures, though further validation in clinical settings is essential.
