Abstract
Purpose
To examine ChatGPT’s effectiveness in responding to common patient questions related to meniscus surgery, including procedures such as meniscus repair and meniscectomy.
Methods
We identified 20 frequently asked questions (FAQs) about meniscus surgery from major orthopedic institutions recommended by ChatGPT, which were then refined by two authors into 10 questions commonly encountered in the outpatient setting. These questions were posted to ChatGPT. Answers were evaluated using a scoring system to assess accuracy and clarity and were rated as “excellent answer requires no clarification,” “satisfactory requires minimal clarification,” “satisfactory requires moderate clarification,” or “unsatisfactory requires substantial clarification.”
Results
Four responses were excellent, requiring no clarification, four responses were satisfactory, requiring minimal clarification, two were satisfactory, requiring moderate clarification, none of the answers were unsatisfactory.
Conclusion
As hypothesized, ChatGPT provides satisfactory and reliable information for frequently asked questions about meniscus surgery.
