IoT-enabled medical advances shaping the future of orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects smart devices to enable automation and data exchange. IoT is rapidly transforming the healthcare industry. Understanding of the framework and challenges of IoT is essential for effective implementation. This review explores the advances in IoT technology in orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation. A comprehensive literature search was conducted by the author using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Relevant peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2024 were preferred based on their focus on IoT applications in orthopaedic surgery, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies. Keywords including "Internet of Things," "orthopaedic rehabilitation," "wearable sensors," and "smart health monitoring" were used. Studies were analysed to identify current trends, clinical relevance, and future opportunities in IoT-driven orthopaedic care. The reviewed studies demonstrate that IoT technologies, such as wearable motion sensors, smart implants, real-time rehabilitation platforms, and AI-powered analytics, have significantly improved orthopaedic surgical outcomes and patient recovery. These systems enable continuous monitoring, early complication detection, and adaptive rehabilitation. However, challenges persist in data security, device interoperability, user compliance, and standardisation across platforms. IoT holds great promise in enhancing orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation by enabling real-time monitoring and personalised care. Moving forward, clinical validation, user-friendly designs, and strong data security will be key to its successful integration in routine practice.
