Offering  expert know-how and best practices, it equips readers with  essential information on how to best remotely manage the  diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients. The book  starts by defining telemedicine and presenting the basic  requirements.

Moreover, the book  features a dedicated chapter that analyzes specific issues  related to remote assessment in children, older patients,  noncompliant patients, and patients with pain. Covering all  the basic and practical aspects of this emerging field,  this book is a must-read for orthopedists and other  professionals, such as general practitioners and  physiotherapists, wanting to gain insights into remote  orthopedic patient care.},
