  • Abstract:
  • Timely and accurate classification of bone fractures is essential for effective orthopedic diagnosis and treatment planning. This study proposes a deep learning-based multiclass classification framework for automated bone fracture detection using radiographic images, without the need for segmentation or localization techniques. We evaluate and compare the performance of three state-of-the-art convolutional neural network architectures—DenseNet-121, EfficientNet-B0, and ResNet-50—for classifying ten different fracture types, including comminuted, oblique, spiral, and pathological fractures. The models are trained on a labeled dataset with class balancing and data augmentation strategies to improve generalization. Experimental results demonstrate that DenseNet-121 achieves the highest classification accuracy of 98.94%, followed by EfficientNet-B0 with 98.76%, and ResNet-50 with 98.50%. Evaluation metrics such as precision, recall, and F1-score further confirm the robustness and reliability of the proposed approach. The findings highlight the effectiveness of deep learning models in automated fracture classification, offering a scalable solution to support clinical decision-making and reduce diagnostic workload.
