Abstract
Wrist trauma and even fractures occur frequently in daily life, particularly among children who account for a significant proportion of fracture cases. Before performing surgery, surgeons often request patients to undergo X-ray imaging first and prepare for surgery based on the analysis of the radiologists. With the development of neural networks, You Only Look Once (YOLO) series models have been widely used in fracture detection as computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) tools. Ultralytics presented the latest version of the YOLO models in 2023, which has been employed for detecting fractures across various parts of the body. Attention mechanism is one of the most popular methods to improve the model performance.…
