Researchers have developed a novel method for robustly estimating bone angles in medical images, crucial for diagnosis and treatment. The approach combines a learning-based point candidate proposal with robust fitting techniques like RANSAC and Hough transforms to overcome the sensitivity of traditional line models to outliers. Evaluated on pediatric fracture and hip dysplasia assessments, the method achieved mean errors within clinical observer variability and outperformed existing landmark-based techniques. Code for fracture angle assessment is publicly available. AI
