AbstractIn the course of digitalization it is becoming increasingly rare for medical documents to be handwritten. As a result, digitalization has already become an integral part of routine patient care but in contrast to other specialist disciplines, such as radiology or laboratory medicine, orthopedics and trauma surgery are still at the beginning of new technologies. Artificial intelligence is not only used in the form of surgical robots in joint surgery or in the design of individualized implants but also provides valuable decision-making aids through appropriate algorithms for diagnosis and treatment. It can be assumed that these technologies will be further developed and used increasingly more in the coming years. Typical examples are intuitively operable and autonomously working programs and systems that support the networking and work of medical personnel and make processes inside and outside inpatient care more precise and less vulnerable to disturbances.
