El Ashmawy AAH, Dowson K, El-Bakoury A, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy, patients’ satisfaction, and cost reduction of Virtual Joint Replacement Clinic (VJRC) follow-up of total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty patients in a university hospital. Researchers enrolled a sum of 1,749 patients who were invited for VJRC follow-up for knee or hip arthroplasty between January 2017 and December 2018. For hip and knee arthroplasty patients, VJRC follow-up is an effective alternative to in-person clinic assessment which is accepted by patients, has high patient satisfaction, and can decrease the cost to both health services and patients.
