This retrospective study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) in identifying fractures on musculoskeletal X-rays. By comparing the performance of a deep learning AI model with that of experienced radiologists, we seek to understand how AI can help improve fracture detection accuracy in clinical settings. The study analyzed 600 X-rays from both pediatric and adult patients, focusing on identifying fractures across different body parts, including the foot, ankle, knee, hand, wrist, and more. The findings show that integrating AI can increase radiologists' sensitivity in detecting fractures, potentially improving patient outcomes by reducing the number of missed injuries.
