A Virtual Clinic for DDH Pavlik Harness Monitoring

Conclusions: This study demonstrates adequate evidence that children requiring routine follow-up appointments involving PH adjustment, skincare, and identification of clinical anomalies, can be treated and followed up safely using virtual clinics. Clinical triage of suitable patients for virtual clinic provision must always be made by experienced clinicians. Children presenting with Graf IIa, IIb, IIc, IId, as well as those with stable and improving Graf III at initial diagnoses, had successful treatment with virtual clinic follow-up appointments in this study. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
