Dual-Approach AI for Pediatric Supracondylar Fractures: Multiclass Radiograph Classification with Explainable AI and Diagnostic Meta-analysis of AI-Based Computational Approaches

Rationale and objectives Pediatric supracondylar fractures (SCFs) are the most common elbow injury in children, yet radiographic diagnosis remains challenging due to complex developmental anatomy, with initially missed fracture rates of 17-77%. Prior artificial intelligence (AI) studies have been limited to binary classification frameworks without Gartland subtype differentiation, and no diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis specific to supracondylar fractures exists. This study aimed to develop the first multi…

Current reading — gain

YOLOv11 Nano achieved multiclass detection and Gartland I-III classification of pediatric supracondylar fractures with ~91-93% accuracy across validation strategies, improving further with bone segmentation.

Current reading — problem

Model generalizability for non-displaced Type I fractures is limited by small sample size, and pooled evidence remains preliminary with substantial heterogeneity across studies.

What this doesn’t fix

Generalizability is constrained by very small Type I sample and limited evidence base with substantial heterogeneity; authors note prospective multicenter validation is required before clinical deployment.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1008 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
