Despite the vast quantities of published artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that target trauma and orthopaedic applications, very few progress to inform clinical practice. One key reason for this is the lack of a clear pathway from development to deployment. In order to assist with this process, we have developed the Clinical Practice Integration of Artificial Intelligence (CPI-AI) framework – a five-stage approach to the clinical practice adoption of AI in the setting of trauma and orthopaedics, based on the IDEAL principles ( Cite this article:
This study explored the shared genetic traits and molecular interactions between postmenopausal osteoporosis (POMP) and sarcopenia, both of which substantially degrade elderly health and quality of life. We hypothesized that these motor system diseases overlap in pathophysiology and regulatory mechanisms. We analyzed microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), machine learning, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis to identify common genetic factors between POMP and sarcopenia. Further validation was done via differential gene expression in a new cohort. Single-cell analysis identified high expression cell subsets, with mononuclear macrophages in osteoporosis and muscle stem cells in sarcopenia, among others. A competitive endogenous RNA network suggested regulatory elements for these genes.Aims

Tendinopathy is a debilitating musculoskeletal
condition which can cause significant pain and lead to complete rupture
of the tendon, which often requires surgical repair. Due in part
to the large spectrum of tendon pathologies, these disorders continue
to be a clinical challenge. Animal models are often used in this
field of research as they offer an attractive framework to examine
the cascade of processes that occur throughout both tendon pathology and
repair. This review discusses the structural, mechanical, and biological
changes that occur throughout tendon pathology in animal models,
as well as strategies for the improvement of tendon healing. Cite this article:
