METHODS: We trained, validated, and tested an automated machine learning-implemented convolutional neural network to classify 9 radiographically similar femoral implants with a metaphyseal-fitting wedge taper design. Our novel technique uses computed tomography-derived projections of a 3-dimensional scanned implant model superimposed within a computed tomography pelvis volume. We employed computer-aided design modeling and MATLAB to process and manipulate the images. This generated 27,020 images for training (22,957) and validation (4,063) sets. We obtained 786 test images from various sources. The performance of the model was evaluated by calculating sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.
RESULTS: Our machine learning model discriminated the 9 implant models with a mean accuracy of 97.4%, sensitivity of 88.4%, and specificity of 98.5%.
CONCLUSIONS: Our novel hip implant detection technique accurately identified 9 radiographically similar implants. The method generates large datasets, is scalable, and can include historic or obscure implants. The no-code machine learning model demonstrates the feasibility of obtaining meaningful results without AI expertise, encouraging further research in this area.
