Patient Perceptions and Interest in Robotic-Assisted Total Joint Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic-assisted total joint arthroplasty (rTJA) has growing interest among patients and surgeons. However, patient interest in and perceptions of rTJA have not been well explored. We sought to investigate the influence of patient demographics on interest in rTJA and patient perceptions regarding rTJA.

Methods

Patients presenting for their initial adult reconstruction consultation received an optional anonymous survey prior to seeing the provider. Patient sociodemographic parameters were recorded. Additional questions assessed interest in and perceptions surrounding rTJA. Results were analyzed to determine whether patient factors correlated with survey responses.

Results

A total of 360 patients participated. Analysis of responses revealed 77.8% of patients
