What is a remote ortho tech?

Remote Ortho Techs, or Remote Orthopedic Technicians, are medical professionals who assist orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring musculoskeletal conditions, often through telemedicine platforms. They may guide patients in applying and caring for orthopedic devices such as casts, braces, and splints, and provide remote support for post-operative care. Remote Ortho Techs typically use digital communication tools to interact with patients and providers, ensuring continuous orthopedic care outside traditional clinical settings.
