abstract = {The first documented use of telemedicine in orthopaedic surgery was in 1993 between video teleconferencing centers at Tripler Army Medical Center in Oahu, Hawaii and the Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, connecting two archipelagoes separated by 2200 nautical miles and demonstrating for the first time that telemedicine could be used to provide orthopaedic specialty care across geographical distances. Since then, telemedicine has been used in several aspects of orthopaedic practice, such as remote consultations, postoperative follow-up and rehabilitation, but is not yet standard practice.},
