Abstract
The over-riding goal of a physician is to optimize the outcome for each individual patient. However, our ability to manipulate the end result at the individual level is limited by our inability to accurately predict the expected outcome of a given clinical scenario. In the age of big data, machine learning can make our predictive capability both easier and more accurate using existing registries and databases which hold the potential to dramatically change decision-making and to optimize individual outcome. The purpose of this editorial was to explore the possible uses of machine learning in sports medicine using existing knee ligament registries as an example.
