Introduction. A smartphone-based care platform allows a customizable educational and exercise interface with patients, allowing many to recover after surgery without the need for formal physical therapy (PT). Furthermore, advances in wearable technology to monitor physical activity (PA) provides patients and physicians quantifiable metrics of the patient's recovery. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a smartphone-based exercise educational platform after

Infection after total knee replacement, which is a serious and expensive complication, often represent a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The current incidence of infection after the primary procedure is 1 to 3%, depending on the published series. A correct and timely diagnosis, classification between early and delayed infection, and which microorganisms are involved, are crucial steps in defining prevention and treatment strategies. Determination of the annual and three years incidence of infection after primary total knee replacement; evaluation of the microorganisms involved and its resistance patterns; assessment of treatment – surgical approach and selection of antibiotics. Collection of clinical and laboratorial data of all patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty between 2011 and 2013 in our hospital; definition of periprosthesic infection cases following the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria. During the study period, 526
