Patient Perception of Robotic-Assisted Total Joint Arthroplasty in a Hispanic Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery has become popular and widely available, mainly for total joint arthroplasty. However, there has been a persistent concern regarding access to robotic-assisted surgery and the utilization rate of total joint arthroplasty among minority groups. As an imperative effort to close the gap regarding health inequalities, we assessed the knowledge and perspective of Hispanics regarding robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery.

Methods

A 28-item questionnaire was established to evaluate Hispanics' perceptions of robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery. Participants answered questions about demographic features, knowledge about robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery, and preferences regarding manual vs robotic-assisted procedures.
