How is Artificial Intelligence reshaping the daily reality of Orthopaedics and Traumatology?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept—it is actively transforming clinical decision-making, surgical workflows, and data-driven orthopaedic research. As part of our ongoing Digitalisation and AI in Orthopaedics & Traumatology series, this specialised webinar bridges the gap between complex technological theory and practical, real-world application.
The objectives of this Webinar, organised by the Basic Research Working Group of EFORT's Education Committee, are:
- Evaluate the Clinical Utility of AI in Trauma: Understand how AI algorithms are currently being applied to enhance diagnosis, fracture classification, and predictive outcome modelling in orthopaedic trauma.
- Analyse European Digitalisation Trends: Synthesize the latest regulatory, technological, and strategic insights emerging from the OTdigital 2026 congress to anticipate the next wave of healthcare technology adoption in Europe.
- Appraise the Human vs. Machine Paradigm: Critically assess the evolving relationship between algorithmic automation and surgical human expertise, identifying how AI acts as an augmentation tool rather than a replacement for clinical judgment.
- Engage in Translational Dialogue: Formulate strategies to effectively bridge technological AI applications from bench to bedside, fostering collaboration between engineering researchers and frontline orthopaedic clinicians.
This Webinar is organised by EFORT independent of any commercial educational support.
