This semisupervised DL approach labeled hip fractures with high accuracy. This mitigates the burden of annotations in a large data set, which is time-consuming and prone to under-reporting. The DL approach may prove beneficial for future efforts to autocreate construct registries that outperform current diagnosis and procedural codes. Clinicians and researchers can use the developed DL approach for quality improvement, diagnostic and prognostic research purposes, and building clinical decision support tools.
