Abstract

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many challenges for the healthcare system. This article describes how an ambulatory orthopedic practice transitioned to telemedicine in order to continue to provide effective, efficient, and safe care for patients. Although this discipline relies heavily on physical assessment and examination, telemedicine can be successfully implemented in this area.
