Brief summary

We are assessing the feasibility of using a smartphone app to monitor patients activity and participation. We will ask patients to install a smartphone app on their phone. Patients will install our app on their phone at least 7 days pre-op. The app will report step and GPS data and allow participants to respond to a questionnaire, data will be reported anonymously to a secure cloud database. They will then undergo surgery. We will follow them up for 6 months. before asking them a satisfaction questionnaire and deleting the app from their phone
