Large Language Models in Orthopaedics

Abstract

➤ Large language models are a subset of artificial intelligence. Large language models are powerful tools that excel in natural language text processing and generation.➤ There are many potential clinical, research, and educational applications of large language models in orthopaedics, but the development of these applications needs to be focused on patient safety and the maintenance of high standards.➤ There are numerous methodological, ethical, and regulatory concerns with regard to the use of large language models. Orthopaedic surgeons need to be aware of the controversies and advocate for an alignment of these models with patient and caregiver priorities.
