Analysis reveals improved preoperative planning for total hip arthroplasty in mild deformities, suggesting AI can enhance surgical outcomes.
AI-3D preoperative planning provides measurable gains in implant sizing and acetabular cup positioning for THA, with benefits most evident in mild-to-moderate deformities (Crowe I-II). In severe deformities (Crowe III-IV), anatomical and reconstructive challenges appear to limit these advantages, emphasizing the continued importance of surgical expertise. Functional outcomes were comparable between AI-3D and conventional 2D planning. Overall, AI-3D may serve as a useful adjunct in complex cases, pending confirmation in larger multicentre and long-term studies.
