Artificial Intelligence is becoming increasingly integrated into healthcare, making it essential to assess its potential as a reliable information source for patient queries in the ambit of orthopaedic surgery. In literature, it is being employed in foot and ankle surgery and total hip arthroplasty. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT) version 3.5 to give accurate, complete and comprehensive responses to the most common questions which are usually asked by the patient to the surgeon regarding total ankle arthroplasty.
Ten most common questions were selected by two ankle surgeons and then ChatGPT was used to answer these questions. The responses were analyzed using an accuracy score and the modified DISCERN score to assess clarity. WordCalc software package (educational-level indices) was used to assess the readability of the responses.
Most of ChatGPT's responses were considered excellent not requiring clarification or satisfactory requiring minimal clarification. Indeed, the accuracy score was 2, suggesting that the overall responses were satisfactory requiring minimal clarification, and DISCERN score mean was 51, which is considered good-fair.
ChatGPT demonstrates potential as a tool for responding to common patient questions related to total ankle arthroplasty, offering clear and mostly accurate information. While its current performance is based on the available literature, ongoing advancements in artificial intelligence may further enhance its utility in healthcare communication. However, further studies are required to evaluate its role more precisely in patient information and clinical settings.

人工智能在医疗保健领域的应用日益广泛，因此有必要评估其作为骨科手术中患者咨询可靠信息源的潜力。在文献中，它已被应用于足踝手术和全髋关节置换术。本研究的目的是评估Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer（ChatGPT）3.5版本对患者向外科医生提出的关于全踝关节置换术的最常见问题给出准确、完整和全面回答的能力。
两名踝关节外科医生挑选出十个最常见的问题，然后使用ChatGPT回答这些问题。使用准确率得分和改良的DISCERN得分来分析回答，以评估清晰度。使用WordCalc软件包（教育水平指数）来评估回答的可读性。
ChatGPT的大多数回答被认为非常出色，无需澄清或只需极少澄清即可令人满意。实际上，准确率得分为2，表明总体回答令人满意，只需极少澄清，DISCERN得分平均为51，被认为是良好-中等。
ChatGPT显示出作为回答与全踝关节置换术相关常见患者问题的工具的潜力，提供清晰且大多准确的信息。虽然其目前的表现基于现有文献，但人工智能的不断进步可能会进一步提高其在医疗保健沟通中的效用。然而，需要进一步研究以更精确地评估其在患者信息和临床环境中的作用。
