Hip Fracture
Hip fractures represent a significant health burden, particularly among older adults, demanding improved risk prediction and treatment strategies. Current research focuses on developing predictive models using machine learning techniques, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and temporal graph convolutional neural networks (TG-CNNs), incorporating both clinical data and advanced imaging (e.g., DXA scans) to identify individuals at high risk. These models aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fracture risk assessment, potentially guiding preventative interventions and optimizing post-operative care by predicting complications and mortality risk. Ultimately, this research strives to reduce the incidence and impact of hip fractures through earlier identification of at-risk individuals and improved management of the condition.
