Summary

This study looked at whether follow-up visits after sports medicine surgery can be done by phone instead of in person. 90 patients were randomly assigned to virtual phone visits or in-person visits at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months after surgery. Researchers measured patient satisfaction and recovery scores to see if the two methods were different.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
virtual phone appointment visits
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that virtual follow-ups are just as good as in-person visits for post-surgery care, making recovery more convenient.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (90 people) at one clinic, so results may not apply to all patients or surgeries. It measures satisfaction, not medical outcomes.
