Comparison of Follow-up by Mobile App or Paper Questionnaire of Patients Undergoing Rotator Cuff Surgery

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study evaluate if in an outpatient rotator cuff surgery, can the use of mobile app compared to conventional paper questionnaire improve follow-up care in the first 90-days following surgery.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Rotator cuff surgery is a painful arthroscopic surgery. In outpatient surgery, the surgeons have to increase the security and surveillance after the surgery to reassure the patient and avoid complications. Most patients receiving ambulatory rotator cuff surgery have high pain score, and management and aspects of the rehabilitation can be challenging. However, regular follow-up is still considered important in the early post-operative phase. In between the conventional appointment 6 weeks post op and 12 weeks post op, the surgeons have no status of the patient, and no markers to check if the postoperative care is evolving right. Currently, the investigators are using a mobile application (Orthense by Digikare, Blagnac, France) to complement in-person postoperative follow-up care for patients.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Mobile-app follow-up<br>The mobile app follow-up group will receive an email, to connect into a secure website. They will answer to periodical questions about their condition. They will have a medical appointment at 6 weeks postoperative and 12 weeks postoperative. All of this information is submitted via the mobile application (Orthense, Digikare Inc. Blagnac, France).The surgeon will have an access to the answer of the patient in real time, and if the patient didn't answer. | Device: Orthense, Orthense, Digikare Inc. Blagnac, France<br>* Mobile-app follow-up care, with questions and score<br>|
| Active Comparator: Conventional follow-up<br>Patients in the conventional, questionnaire follow-up group will have the same periodical questions but on paper. They will have to stick personally with the schedule without any reminders. They will have a medical appointment at 6 weeks postoperative and 12 weeks postoperative where they have to bring the questionnaire. | Other: Questionnaire<br>* Paper questionnaire follow-up, with questions and score<br>|
