Nurse-Led Telehealth vs In-Person Follow-Up After Total Knee Replacement

Brief Summary The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if nurse-led telehealth consultations can help detect complications and support recovery after total knee replacement surgery. The study will compare telehealth nursing consultations to traditional in-person nursing visits. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can nurse-led telehealth detect post-surgery complications as well as or better than in-person consultations? * Does telehealth nursing support better or equivalent recovery outcomes and patient satisfaction compared to in-person care? Participants will: * Be adults who had their first total knee replacement surgery. * Receive follow-up care either through telehealth consultations using the HA Go mobile app or through traditional face-to-face nurse visits in the outpatient clinic. * Attend scheduled consultations and provide information about their recovery and any complications they experience. * Complete surveys about their satisfaction with the care they receive. This study will help determine if telehealth nursing consultations can provide safe, effective, and convenient follow-up care for patients after knee replacement surgery, potentially improving access and reducing travel burdens.
