A Feasibility Pilot Study on the Use of Telemedicine for the Examination of the Knee Joint.

CONCLUSION: The video consultation for musculoskeletal complaints of the knee joint allows exploratory remote examination and helps to minimise the number of patients in hospitals and practices. It takes longer for the physician to perform and does not permit functional testing for ligament injuries of the knee joint. In its present form, telemedical examination is not able to fully replace personal consultation. PMID: 33233013 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
