Predictors Using Machine Learning of Complete Peroneal Nerve Palsy Recovery After Multiligamentous Knee Injury: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract

The RF model in this study found that increasing age, BMI, and male sex were predictive of decreased likelihood of nerve recovery. While further study of machine learning models with larger patient data sets is required to identify the most superior model, these findings present an opportunity for orthopaedic surgeons to better identify, counsel, and treat patients with MLKIs and concomitant complete PN palsy.
