Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients aged eighteen years and above. Patients who underwent elective orthopedic surgeries following trauma. Patients who have access to a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) and are able to use it to interact with the mobile application. Patients who provided informed consent for participation in the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients with active infections as surgery or intervention can exacerbate the infection. Patients with suppressed immune systems due to diseases like HIV/AIDS, or immunosuppressive therapies, who have high risk of developing infections after surgery. Patients with open trauma, vascular or nerve compromise, significant bone loss Patients with cognitive impairments that could interfere with app usage or follow-up compliance. Patients with comorbid conditions that may affect post-operative recovery (e.g., severe cardiovascular diseases). Patients who were non-ambulatory before surgery. Patients lacking access to a compatible mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) or reliable internet service. Patients undergoing surgeries or treatments for non-orthopedic conditions that may affect recovery and postoperative outcomes related to orthopedic surgery. Patients with severe, uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., advanced heart disease, chronic respiratory conditions) that might significantly impact their postoperative recovery or complicate the follow-up process. Patients with psychiatric conditions. Patients currently participating in other clinical trials that might interfere with or confound the results of this study, particularly those involving postoperative care or recovery.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Effectiveness in Preventing Post-Operative Complications: The primary outcome is to evaluate the effectiveness of the mobile-based application in preventing orthopedic post-operative complications, such as infections, deep vein thrombosis, and non-union, compared to conventional follow-up methods. Rate of Complication Detection: The primary outcome is to assess the rate at which post-operative complications are detected through the mobile application versus conventional follow-up methods during the post-operative period.Timepoint: at 4 weeks post op | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Time to Detection of Complications: The secondary outcome is to compare the time taken to identify post-operative complications using the mobile-based application versus conventional follow-up methods. Patient Satisfaction with Monitoring Methods: The secondary outcome is to assess patient satisfaction with the mobile-based application compared to conventional follow-up methods, measured through a standardized satisfaction survey or questionnaire. Follow-up Adherence: The secondary outcome is to measure adherence to follow-up schedules, comparing the percentage of patients who engage with the mobile application versus those who attend conventional follow-up appointmentsTimepoint: at 12 weeks post op | — |
