Telemedicine-Rehabilitation and Virtual Reality in Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.

Introduction: Tele-rehabilitation is a method of delivering rehabilitation services using information, technology and communication to everyone, irrespective of their geographic location. National zeal for competitive sports and COVID pandemic has led to an increase in its demand and popularity worldwide. The athletes need immediate treatment and correct rehabilitation to keep them in their game.

No difference in sports participation and patient-reported functional outcomes between total knee arthroplasty and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty at minimum 2-year follow-up in a matched control study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare (1) sports participation and type of sports activity between TKA and UKA patients; (2) functional outcome and activity level between TKA and UKA; and (3) survivorship of the prosthesis in both the groups.

Methods: Prospectively collected data were obtained from an arthroplasty database to identify patients who underwent primary TKA and UKA. Both the cohorts of TKA and UKA were matched, controlling for age, sex, BMI and preoperative patient-reported outcomes, which include Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Tegner activity level, and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain score.
