Outline

In this paper, we developed a multi-model deep learning system to aid in the early diagnosis of shoulder fractures, which are often missed in emergency and high-volume settings. Using 10,000 annotated shoulder X-ray images, we developed models based on architectures such as Faster R-CNN, EfficientDet, and RF-DETR, and applied bounding box and classification-level ensemble techniques such as Soft-NMS, WBF, and NMW fusion. As a result, the NMW ensemble achieved an accuracy of 95.5% and an F1 score of 0.9610, outperforming the individual models in all key metrics. This confirms its effectiveness for clinical fracture detection on shoulder X-ray images. The model in this study is limited to binary fracture detection to support rapid triage and classification.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We demonstrate that ensemble-based AI can reliably detect fractures in shoulder X radiographs with high accuracy.
The model's accuracy and deployment readiness suggest its potential for integration into real-time diagnostic workflows.
Limitations:
It is only capable of detecting binary fractures and cannot be applied to detailed orthopedic classification.
Further research may be needed on the generalization performance of the model.
