    The study proposes an AI framework for automated landmark identification and morphometric analysis in musculoskeletal imaging.

  • 2

    This framework aims to reduce inter-reader variability and improve accuracy in measuring anatomical landmarks across various regions.

  • 3

    The research evaluates the framework using 840 radiographs from two cohorts: a routine cohort without implants and a challenging cohort with orthopedic hardware.

  • 4

    The AI framework is designed to achieve a mean absolute error of less than 3 mm in landmark localization, regardless of the anatomic region.

  • 5

    The study highlights the potential of AI to streamline radiographic assessments while maintaining functionality in the presence of orthopedic implants.
