    Pediatric fractures, particularly in the upper extremities, account for over 75% of all fractures in children, necessitating accurate detection to prevent complications.

  • 2

    AI tools like BoneView® can assist in detecting pediatric fractures, addressing challenges posed by the complexity of pediatric skeletal anatomy and radiologist shortages.

  • 3

    The study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of BoneView® in identifying upper limb fractures in children aged 2 to 18 years using retrospective radiographic data.

  • 4

    BoneView® employs a deep learning algorithm trained on over 300,000 radiographs, including 30% pediatric cases, to enhance fracture detection accuracy.

  • 5

    The study aims to validate the AI tool's performance in pediatrics, where conventional radiographs are often challenging due to children's unique bone characteristics.
