Most outpatient orthopedic follow-up visits for patients who had total joint arthroplasty are routine among those with well-functioning implants. The technology and resources now exist to enable patient assessment without requiring attendance in hospital. We tested an electronic clinic for routine follow-up in a small cohort of arthroplasty patients.
