“…Third, we have seen an empowerment of patients and an improvement of the health care with more continuous contact (e.g., regarding post-surgery issues) and the use of social media to provide richer communication -such as streaming of instruction videos, etc. These two findings are in line with previous studies on social media and health information retrieval (AlGhamdi & Moussa, 2012), patient empowerment (Lober & Flowers, 2011), and patient education (Saleh et al, 2012). Future research could investigate further the various dimensions of the trends of patient empowerment and health care service improvement observed.…”

“…In a recent study on orthopedic surgery, Saleh et al (2012) have found that "health care professionals have slowly begun to use social media to stay connected with patients. The recent use of networking sites aims to improve education, provide a forum to discuss relevant medical topics, and allow for improved patient care."…”

“…The use of discussion boards may facilitate patient-doctor or patient-nurse communication [16], may strengthen patients' feelings of control, or - by support of other online members - may encourage lifestyle and health behavior changes. Several forms of online social support targeted at patients undergoing orthopedic surgery or caring for adults with intellectual disabilities have been proposed [16,17]. …”

Background: Maintaining social relationships has been defined as a core element of aging well. With a considerable amount of older adults living alone, social media provides the possibility to engage in meaningful social contact, e.g. by joining online social networks and online discussion forums. Objective: The review encompasses current knowledge of prerequisites in social media use of older adults such as functional capacity, information and communications technology-related knowledge, and favorable attitudes towards social media. Then, the potential of social media use for clinical practice and possible negative consequences are outlined. Method: Literature on social media use from a gerontological perspective was reviewed in July and August 2012. Results: Online communities are suitable for providing and receiving social support when confronted with a difficult life situation, regardless of geographical location or time. From a practitioner's perspective, social media can be used to advance health-related knowledge such as information on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of specific conditions and disorders. Further positive consequences have been shown to be overcoming loneliness, relieving stress, and raising feelings of control and self-efficacy. Possible negative consequences could be misuse of personal data as well as the distribution and uncritical adoption of potentially harmful information via online communities. Discussion: The potential of social media in clinical practice is reflected in a wide range of intervention possibilities for older adults. However, with the rise of social media, new threats emerge for older adults as well.

“…There has been a commensurate rise in the use of online social networking, social media websites, and online applications: 65 % of American adults (76 % of Internet users) used at least one social networking web site in 2015, compared to only 7 % in 2005 [3]. The average person now engages in social media use for more than 6 hours per week [4]. Approximately 15 % of these users obtain health information through social networking sites [2], with up to 34 % of all adult Internet users having turned to online commentaries, reviews, and blogs to learn about the experience of others with various medical issues or receiving specific treatments [2].…”

Utilization of social media both in the private and professional arenas has grown rapidly in the last decade. The rise of social media use within health care can be viewed as the Internet-based corollary of the patient-centered care movement, in which patient perspectives and values are central to the delivery of quality care. For orthopedic surgeons and their practices, general-purpose online social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, are convenient platforms for marketing, providing patient education and generating referrals. Virtual health communities are used less frequently by orthopedic surgeons but provide forums for patient engagement and active surgeon-to-patient communication via blogs and askthe-doctor platforms. This commentary reviews the current state of social media use in orthopedic practice, with particular emphasis on managing the extension of the surgeon-patient relationship online, including the unique practice risks social media poses, such as privacy concerns, potential liability, and time consumption.
