Telemedicine visits generate accurate surgical plans across orthopaedic subspecialties

Abstract: Introduction The role of telemedicine is rapidly evolving across medical specialties and orthopaedics. The utility of telemedicine to identify operative candidates and determine surgical plans has yet to be demonstrated. We sought to assess whether surgical plans proposed following telemedicine visits changed after subsequent in-person interaction across orthopaedic subspecialties. Materials and methods We identified all elective telemedicine encounters across two acade… Show more

“…For example, telemedicine has become a routine component of orthopaedic care delivery, and patients and surgeons tend to be satisfied with telehealth encounters (Rizzi et al., 2020 ). Further, treatment plans devised via telemedicine have been shown to rarely change following in‐person preoperative or pre‐preprocedural encounters, suggesting that such technological integration helps make care delivery more efficient for all parties (Crawford et al., 2021a , 2012b ; Lightsey et al., 2021 ). In addition to the exponential growth of telehealth encounters, other areas of advancement that show promise or have been emphasised during this crisis are the collection of patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs), and, in the present study, the collection of a DMH.…”
