Osteoarthritis is a complex and painful condition marked by joint destruction and remodeling, often resulting from overuse, aging, or genetic predisposition. Surgical arthroplasty is a widely used treatment to replace degenerated joints, relieve pain, and restore function, often caused by osteoarthritis. Artificial intelligence, including its subsets such as machine learning and deep learning, has emerged as a tool to enhance knee arthroplasty by improving diagnostic accuracy, surgical efficiency and patient outcomes. This article addresses the diverse applications of artificial intelligence across the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative stages of knee arthroplasty, categorizing studies by their focus on patient education, surgical assistance, and outcome assessment.
