Each response was independently evaluated by 2 orthopedic surgeons with over 20 years of experience in hip arthroplasty. The quality of responses was assessed using the grading system proposed by Mika et al. Readability was analyzed using the Flesch\u2013Kincaid Reading Ease Score (FRES) and Flesch\u2013Kincaid Reading Level (FKRL). Interrater reliability (IRR) was calculated using Cohen\u2019s kappa test.\u00a0\r\nResults: Reviewer 1 rated 11\/16 responses as \u201cexcellent\u2014no clarification required\u201d and 5\/16 as \u201csatisfactory\u2014minimal clarification needed.\u201d Reviewer 2 rated 10\/16 responses as excellent and 6\/16 as satisfactory. The mean FRES score was 27.1 (range: 12.4-45.6), indicating the content was \u201cdifficult to read.\u201d The FKRL scores corresponded to college or college graduate reading levels. The IRR between reviewers was moderate (\u03ba = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.09-1.00).\u00a0\r\nConclusion: ChatGPT 5.2 provided overall satisfactory to excellent responses regarding hip AVN. However, the high reading level required to understand these answers may limit their effectiveness in patient education unless simplified language is employed.\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\nCite this article as: \u015eahin E, Baltac\u0131 \u00c7, Kalem M, Kocao\u011flu H.
