Development of a deep learning algorithm for radiographic detection of syndesmotic instability in ankle fractures with intraoperative validation

Abstract Identifying syndesmotic instability in ankle fractures using conventional radiographs is still a major challenge. In this study we trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify the fracture utilizing the AO-classification (AO-44 A/B/C) and to simultaneously detect syndesmosis ins...
