Geometric deep learning is a relatively new field that combines the principles of deep learning with techniques from geometry and topology to analyze data with complex structures, such as graphs and manifolds. In orthopedic research, geometric deep learning has been applied to a variety of tasks, including the analysis of imaging data to detect and classify abnormalities, the prediction of patient outcomes following surgical interventions, and the identification of risk factors for degenerative joint disease. This review aims to summarize the current state of the field and highlight the key findings and applications of geometric deep learning in orthopedic research. The review also discusses the potential benefits and limitations of these approaches and identifies areas for future research. Overall, the use of geometric deep learning in orthopedic research has the potential to greatly advance our understanding of the musculoskeletal system and improve patient care.
