“…Development of an expandable cage with a larger footprint, height, and lordotic angle than those currently available could lead to more effective surgeries and improved clinical outcomes for patients. Integration with state-of-the-art technologies, such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality, which are under extensive research [69,70], would be helpful for developing patient-specific expandable cages. Finally, considering the potential limitation of patient access due to high costs, product pricing will be a significant factor in the future of expandable cages.…”

Lumbar fusion surgery for treating degenerative spinal diseases has undergone significant advancements in recent years. In addition to posterior instrumentation, anterior interbody fusion techniques have been developed along with various cages for interbody fusion. Recently, expandable cages capable of altering height, lordotic angle, and footprint within the disc space have garnered significant attention. In this manuscript, we review the current status, clinical outcomes, and future prospects of expandable cages for lumbar interbody fusion based on the existing literature. Expandable cages are suitable for minimally invasive spinal surgeries. Small-sized cages can be inserted and subsequently expanded to a larger size within the disc space. While expandable cages generally demonstrate superior clinical outcomes compared to static cages, some studies have suggested comparable or even poorer outcomes with expandable cages than static cages. Careful interpretation through additional long-term follow-ups is required to assess the utility of expandable cages. If these shortcomings are addressed and the advantages are further developed, expandable cages could become suitable surgical instruments for minimally invasive spinal surgeries.

“…In the ever-evolving world of orthopedics and sports medicine, new technologies are fundamentally transforming both medical practice and patient experiences. Alongside traditional innovations in orthopedic implants and surgical techniques, we are witnessing the introduction of cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printers and augmented reality, which are revolutionizing treatment design and customization [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Among these various technologies, the Internet has become a significant source for patients, who often rely on this virtual platform to find answers to their medical inquiries [ 7 , 8 ].…”

Background: This study evaluates the potential of ChatGPT and Google Bard as educational tools for patients in orthopedics, focusing on sports medicine and pediatric orthopedics. The aim is to compare the quality of responses provided by these natural language processing (NLP) models, addressing concerns about the potential dissemination of incorrect medical information. Methods: Ten ACL- and flat foot-related questions from a Google search were presented to ChatGPT-3.5 and Google Bard. Expert orthopedic surgeons rated the responses using the Global Quality Score (GQS). The study minimized bias by clearing chat history before each question, maintaining respondent anonymity and employing statistical analysis to compare response quality. Results: ChatGPT-3.5 and Google Bard yielded good-quality responses, with average scores of 4.1 ± 0.7 and 4 ± 0.78, respectively, for sports medicine. For pediatric orthopedics, Google Bard scored 3.5 ± 1, while the average score for responses generated by ChatGPT was 3.8 ± 0.83. In both cases, no statistically significant difference was found between the platforms (p = 0.6787, p = 0.3092). Despite ChatGPT’s responses being considered more readable, both platforms showed promise for AI-driven patient education, with no reported misinformation. Conclusions: ChatGPT and Google Bard demonstrate significant potential as supplementary patient education resources in orthopedics. However, improvements are needed for increased reliability. The study underscores the evolving role of AI in orthopedics and calls for continued research to ensure a conscientious integration of AI in healthcare education.
