مستخلص: Osteoarthritis of the knee, a widespread cause of knee disability, is commonly treated in orthopedics due to its rising prevalence. Lower extremity misalignment, pivotal in knee injury etiology and management, necessitates comprehensive mechanical alignment evaluation via frequently-requested weight-bearing long leg radiographs (LLR). Despite LLR's routine use, current analysis techniques are error-prone and time-consuming. To address this, we conducted a multicentric study to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for fully automated leg alignment assessment on anterior–posterior LLR, targeting enhanced reliability and efficiency. The DL model, developed using 594 patients' LLR and a 60%/10%/30% data split for training, validation, and testing, executed alignment analyses via a multi-step process, employing a detection network and nine specialized networks. It was designed to assess all vital anatomical and mechanical parameters for standard clinical leg deformity analysis and preoperative planning. Accuracy, reliability, and assessment duration were compared with three specialized orthopedic surgeons across two distinct institutional datasets (136 and 143 radiographs). The algorithm exhibited equivalent performance to the surgeons in terms of alignment accuracy (DL: 0.21 ± 0.18°to 1.06 ± 1.3°vs. OS: 0.21 ± 0.16°to 1.72 ± 1.96°), interrater reliability (ICC DL: 0.90 ± 0.05 to 1.0 ± 0.0 vs. ICC OS: 0.90 ± 0.03 to 1.0 ± 0.0), and clinically acceptable accuracy (DL: 53.9%–100% vs OS 30.8%–100%). Further, automated analysis significantly reduced analysis time compared to manual annotation (DL: 22 ± 0.6 s vs. OS; 101.7 ± 7 s, p ≤ 0.01). By demonstrating that our algorithm not only matches the precision of expert surgeons but also significantly outpaces them in both speed and consistency of measurements, our research underscores a pivotal advancement in harnessing AI to enhance clinical efficiency and decision-making in orthopaedics. [Display omitted] • Automatic tool for comprehensive lower leg alignment analysis. • Performance comparable to specialist human readers. • Significant time savings in diagnostic image reading. • Outperforms current methods in accuracy, reliability, and speed.
