AI In Orthopedic Surgery: How Leveraging AI Could Improve Surgical Outcomes
–News Direct–
By Meg Flippin, Benzinga
Artificial intelligence isnt reserved only for chatbots and autonomous vehicles; it's also increasingly important in various other fields, like orthopedics, particularly for knee and hip replacement surgeries.
Of the nearly 800,000 total knee replacement surgeries performed annually in the U.S., 88% are still performed manually putting patients at risk from potential human errors and potentially longer recovery times. Then there are the implants. Many implants used today are one-size-fits-none, which dont fit all patients perfectly. Today's major problems in joint replacement include mechanical loosening, bone loss, dislocation, ease of revision and fracture. About 100,000 hip and knee replacements fail every year, and 36% of patients regret their procedure altogether.
How AI Is Transforming Surgery
AI is helping address these challenges, speeding up surgeries and potentially improving patient outcomes. By analyzing patient data including patient records and medical images AI can assist surgeons in providing patients with precise and accurate diagnoses, identifying patterns or abnormalities that would be difficult to spot with the human eye. In the planning stage, in the future AI could help give surgeons valuable insights regarding where to place the implants and how to better predict surgical outcomes. Artificial intelligence can also help surgeons in the operating room with robots leveraging AI-powered preoperative planning that provides real-time guidance to efficiently cut bone for precise and accurate implant placement. Lets not forget the recovery stage even there, AI could prove useful in the future to potentially help surgeons develop customized treatments by analyzing the range of motion, muscle strength and gait of the patient.
Monograms Mission
Monogram Orthopedics Inc. (NASDAQ: MGRM) will be using AI (machine learning) and robotics to deliver the next generation of patient care and improve implants to improve fit and capital efficiency. The Austin, Texas-based medical device company is at the cutting edge, betting that customizing implants to the unique needs of patients will go a long way in improving outcomes for the countless people who need hip and knee replacements each year with machine learning algorithms that could identify the critical anatomical landmarks to help inform the implant design. These technologies are not yet commercial or FDA-cleared.
Our mission is to make orthopedics personal. The current standard of care is highly impersonal, says Monogram CEO Benjamin Sexson. In crude terms, patients are permanently and irreversibly amputating arthritic bone to have it replaced with an off-the-shelf generic implant that, in non-clinical terms, gets hammered into place. Simplistically our goal is to replace joints with implants that are designed for a more personalized fit and placed with advanced robotics. We are working to mitigate the risks of arthroplasty with technology that drives personalization.
Monogram is aiming to revolutionize orthopedics with the launch of its robotic technology mBs, which links 3D printing and robotics with advanced pre-operative imaging. The robots aim to help surgeons plan where to place the implant to achieve target laxity values under stress. Accompanying the robot are best fit implants that the company believes could improve the personalization of what is available today.
Better Outcomes With AI
The idea is to get to a point where surgeons use 3D-printed implants that are designed based on the patients unique characteristics. The custom implants could reduce the need to carry excess inventory and would be press-fit (they wouldnt need cement to hold them in place). Monograms robots are designed to precisely cut the bone to help surgeons place the custom implants on the patient. With more of the patient's bone preserved, this could result in a more bone-sparing design. Using the Monogram software platform and product solution architecture powered by AI and machine learning, the vision is for surgeons to be able to design optimized implants that they anticipate could improve stability and physiological loading. The company is researching the potential benefits of its designs and has not conducted clinical trials. Quick-build 3D printing could also enable maximum logistical and clinical efficiency, enabling clinical representatives to process patient image data using industry-leading machine learning algorithms and automated processes, says Monogram. This could reduce case processing time, lowering the cost of surgery.
Bone is a composite. It consists of compact bone at the periphery, spongy bone and bone marrow. Our implants are designed to maximize contact with the inner cortical wall (inner surface of the compacted bone at the periphery) to improve initial stability, says Sexson. The primary purpose of the machine learning algorithms is to segment bone (inner and outer cortex) from the CT scans as well as to identify the critical anatomical landmarks that inform the implant design algorithms.
Monogram is leaning heavily into AI. With Monograms technology, surgeons could get efficient case planning, fast registration and efficient cutting. Monogram has indicated it will be largely complete with its verification and validation in the first half of 2024, with a planned 510(k) application submission for FDA clearance in the second half of 2024.
Technological advancements like AI are transforming healthcare, particularly when it comes to joint replacement surgeries, and for good reason. Todays approaches are antiquated, generic, and can be ineffective (20% of patients arent satisfied with their knee replacement). Monogram hopes it can change that, leveraging technology to personalize what has been a non-personalized procedure to date.

QuickBooks File Repair: Essential Steps to Restore and Protect Your Financial Data
Brandon, MB, 22nd November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, QuickBooks file repair is often necessary when a QuickBooks company file becomes corrupted or damaged. This can happen due to various reasons, such as system crashes, large file sizes, network issues, or power outages. Corrupted files can lead to issues like missing data, error messages, or QuickBooks freezing unexpectedly, so it’s essential to address these problems quickly to maintain data integrity.
As a QuickBooks company file grows, it can become more prone to corruption and performance issues, especially in older versions of QuickBooks that may not handle large files as effectively.
If multiple users are working on the same file over a network, disruptions in network connectivity can lead to file corruption. System crashes, power outages, or abrupt QuickBooks closures can cause file damage, as data may not be saved or closed correctly.
The QuickBooks File Doctor is a free tool from Intuit that scans and repairs corrupted QuickBooks files. It addresses common issues and can resolve error messages related to data corruption, network issues, and Windows permissions.
The Rebuild Data utility within QuickBooks Desktop can fix minor data issues. This tool scans the file for errors and attempts to repair them automatically. To access it, go to “File” > “Utilities” > “Rebuild Data.”
If file size is the cause of corruption, condensing the data may help. The Condense Data utility reduces file size by summarizing older transactions, which can make the file more manageable and reduce the risk of future corruption.
If the file is significantly damaged, restoring from the most recent backup can often be the quickest solution. QuickBooks allows users to create regular backups, so if you’ve been backing up your data, you may be able to restore it without losing much information.
For severe file corruption, or when standard tools fail, contacting a QuickBooks file repair specialist may be necessary. Professional services can often repair damaged files without data loss, restoring the integrity of financial records.
QuickBooks file repair is crucial to prevent data loss and keep financial records accurate. Regularly backing up data, monitoring file size, and maintaining a stable network connection can reduce the risk of file corruption, ensuring smoother, uninterrupted use of QuickBooks.

QuickBooks SuperCondense reduces file size more drastically than standard condensing, resulting in faster load times and smoother navigation
Brandon, MB, 22nd November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, QuickBooks SuperCondense is a specialized process used to significantly reduce the size of large QuickBooks company files, helping improve software speed and stability. Over time, QuickBooks files can become sluggish as more transactions are recorded, leading to delays, errors, or even corruption issues. A SuperCondense, which goes beyond the built-in “Condense Data” utility, can help resolve these issues by reducing file size by up to 80%.
Large file sizes can cause QuickBooks to slow down, affecting user productivity and increasing the chance of crashes. SuperCondense reduces file size more drastically than standard condensing, resulting in faster load times and smoother navigation.
Smaller files are less prone to corruption, which can occur when QuickBooks attempts to handle oversized files. SuperCondense helps protect data integrity, reducing the need for frequent repairs or data recovery.
Moving large QuickBooks files to QuickBooks Online can be challenging due to file size limits. SuperCondensing your file before migration ensures it meets size requirements, allowing for a seamless transition to the cloud.
Smaller files are easier to back up and store, reducing storage costs and simplifying data management processes.
During SuperCondense, older or inactive transactions are summarized, and unused items (like vendors or customers) are removed or archived. Unlike the regular condense process, which may only summarize old transactions, SuperCondense minimizes every aspect of the file, providing a more compact and efficient end result.
QuickBooks users can use professional services for a SuperCondense process, as it’s not included in the standard QuickBooks software. These services ensure a smooth reduction process while preserving essential data, helping businesses maximize QuickBooks performance without losing historical information.
SuperCondense is an effective way for businesses to optimize their QuickBooks files for faster, more reliable performance. By reducing file size significantly, businesses can enjoy a smoother QuickBooks experience, better data protection, and simpler cloud migration, making SuperCondense a valuable option for those dealing with large, sluggish files.
