Digital support for teens having bone surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a short digital program designed to help young people (ages 8–18) and their parents cope with major orthopedic surgery. Participation is simple: you use the program on a device, and the goal is to reduce stress and improve recovery.
