Abstract:
Objective To determine whether an intelligerct cloud platform follow-up model demonstrates superiority over conventional methods in enhancing follow-up quality,reducing costs,and improving functional recovery following total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 260 patients undergoing TKA at our hospital from October 2022 to September 2023.According to the different postoperative follow-up methods,they were divided int a cloud platform group(n=130)and a traditional group(n=130).The baseline data,pre-and postoperative knee function scores,and follow-up costs were collected and compared between the 2 groups.Results The cloud platform group exhibited significantly higher rate of follow-up satisfaction,reduced resource utilization,shorter per-follow-up duration,fewer accompanying persons per visit,lower total follow-up expenditures,and decreased cumulative follow-up time when compared with the traditional group(P<0.05).At 6 weeks,3,6,and 12 months postoperatively,better range of motion(ROM)was observed in the cloud-based group than the traditional group(P<0.05),but no intergroup differences were seen in other knee function scores.Conclusion Cloud platform follow-up enhances early postoperative ROM(6 weeks to 12 months)and demonstrates marked cost-effectiveness when compared to the conventional mode.It represents a viable alternative for post-TKA rehabilitation surveillance.
