The test group included 24 patients who underwent three-dimensional preoperative planning using artificial intelligence (AI), and the control group consisted of 24 patients who underwent two-dimensional preoperative planning using traditional template measurement. The differences were not statistically significant when comparing the general information of the two groups, such as gender, age, BMI, affected side category, ASA classification, history of diabetes, history of stroke (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05). For analyzing the accuracy and application effect of the two preoperative planning methods, the intraoperative operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative lower limb alignment angle, VAS score, and AKS score were compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All patients were followed for 6\u20138 months, and no postoperative complications or postoperative deaths occurred in either group.

The complete matching rates of femoral component, tibial component, and tibial liner in the test group were significantly better than those in the control group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative drainage volume in the test group were significantly less than those in the control group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the postoperative lower limb alignment Angle between the two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The VAS score of the test group was significantly better than that of the control group within 2 weeks (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05), but there was no statistically significant difference after 1 month (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05).
