Leveraging AI for High-Quality Surgical Video

Surgical videos are essential for sharing best practices, educating colleagues and students, and working to improve patient outcomes. However, capturing and producing surgical video is not always an easy task. Fortunately, AI-enabled software and tools are changing the game, making the process easier, faster, and more efficient than ever before. In this article, we will explore how AI can help you capture and produce better surgical video content and share some easy-to-use AI-based tools that can help you capture and edit higher quality surgical videos.

AI for Improving Picture/Sound Quality

One of the biggest challenges in surgical video capture is obtaining high-quality picture and sound. AI-enabled upscaling software has dramatically improved, allowing you to upscale lower quality video to 4K quality or even better without a degree in video production. AI-enabled software can also improve blurred images, eliminate picture noise, and give your video a more professional look.

In addition, AI-enabled software can help you handle post-production tasks, such as color correction and sound editing. Previously, these tasks were handled only by professional production teams, but now AI editing software can analyze your video and adjust the color and sound levels to ensure that the final product is of the highest quality.

AI Auto-Framing/Auto-Tracking Technology

Keeping the camera focused on the surgical field while avoiding distractions and unintended movements is a significant challenge in surgical video capture, especially with head-mounted or handheld camera footage. Fortunately, AI-enabled software is already helping to solve this problem with auto-framing or auto-tracking technology. This technology can make video footage more fluid and accurately capture the surgical field, making it easier for surgeons to capture high-quality surgical videos.

Easy-to-Use AI-Based Tools for Better Video

Both Adobe Premiere Pro and RunwayML offer powerful AI-enabled features that can significantly improve the quality of surgical video. These features include upscaling, color correction, sound editing, auto tracking, object detection, segmentation, and real-time processing. By leveraging these tools, surgeons can produce higher-quality surgical videos that are more accurate, detailed, and professional-appearing.

How Are Distal Biceps Tendon Tears Repaired?

Distal biceps tendon tears are effectively treated through surgical repair using either single-incision or double-incision techniques, with various fixation methods including cortical buttons, interference screws, and suture anchors providing excellent outcomes. Research shows that 95% of athletes return to sports following distal biceps tendon repair surgery, with 82% achieving their pre-injury performance level within an average of 40 weeks. The choice between anatomic double-incision repair and single-incision approaches depends on patient factors, surgeon experience, and injury characteristics, though both methods achieve high success rates with low complication rates when performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons. Modern fixation techniques have significantly improved strength restoration and reduced re-rupture rates, making surgical repair the gold standard treatment for distal biceps tendon ruptures in active patients.
