LAS VEGAS — In this video from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting, Richard Iorio, MD, FAAOS, spoke about the state of physical therapy after total joint replacement.

“In this day and age, outpatient physical therapy isn’t absolutely necessary for all patients,” Iorio said. “For the vast majority of patients, their needs can be serviced in-home on a technology application or even with an analog program that they can administer themselves,” he said.
