Abstract

Ultrasound imaging is a vital imaging tool in musculoskeletal medicine, with the number of publications on ultrasound-guided surgery increasing in recent years, especially in minimally invasive procedures of sports, foot and ankle, and hand surgery. However, ultrasound imaging has drawbacks, such as operator dependency and image obscurity. Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL), a subset of AI, can address these issues. AI/DL can enhance screening practices for hip dysplasia and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral capitellum, improve diagnostic accuracy for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and provide physicians with better prognostic prediction tools for patients with knee osteoarthritis. Building on these advancements, DL methods, including segmentation, detection, and localization of target tissues and medical instruments, also have the potential to allow physicians and surgeons to perform ultrasound-guided procedures more accurately and efficiently. This review summarizes recent advances in ultrasound-guided procedures for musculoskeletal diseases and provides a comprehensive overview of the utilization of AI/DL in ultrasound for musculoskeletal medicine, particularly focusing on ultrasound-guided surgery.
