With the growth of social media platforms, their potential to affect health care, and orthopedics specifically, continues to expand. We reviewed the literature to obtain all pertinent information on social media in health care and examined its strengths and weaknesses from patient and physician perspectives. Health care professionals have slowly begun to use social media to stay connected with patients. The recent use of networking sites aims to improve education, provide a forum to discuss relevant medical topics, and allow for improved patient care. The use of social media, with the understanding of its limitations, may help promote patient happiness and safety and serve as an educational platform.
随着社交媒体平台的发展，其影响医疗保健，尤其是骨科的潜力不断扩大。我们查阅了文献，以获取有关社交媒体在医疗保健方面的所有相关信息，并从患者和医生的角度审视了其优缺点。医疗保健专业人员已逐渐开始使用社交媒体与患者保持联系。最近对社交网站的使用旨在改善教育、提供一个讨论相关医学话题的论坛，并实现更好的患者护理。在了解其局限性的情况下使用社交媒体，可能有助于提升患者的满意度和安全性，并充当一个教育平台。
