SUMMARY
Background. Given the increasing use of RN in orthopaedics, our aim is to evaluate TJA patients’ understanding of RN technology.
Methods. A survey based cross sectional study was conducted in one joint replacement clinic from January- March 2021. Questions pertaining to demographic information, robotics and navigation prevalence, autonomy, benefits, drawbacks, costs, and patient experiences and attitudes were asked.
Results. Ninety-seven completed questionnaires were included in our results. 70.1% of patients knew that some orthopaedic surgeons use robotics and navigation systems in surgery. 71.1% had not undergone or did not know a first degree relative who had undergone an orthopaedic surgery performed with RN assistance. 86.6% of patients thought that >10% of operations were performed using a RN system. 58.7%, 49.4% and 49.4% of the patients believed that RN makes surgeries more accurate, easier, and quicker, respectively. 73.2% believed that robotic surgery would increase the price of their surgery. 46.3% answered that RN costs > $ 100,000. 55.7% of the patients responded that they would be willing to pay extra for a RN assisted surgery. 39.2% of patients were unsure of whether they would like to have RN surgery.
Conclusions. Patients’ understanding of robotic and navigation in arthroplasty seems to be limited and inconsistent. With increased direct-to-consumer marketing of these technologies, it is critical for physicians and healthcare systems to promote balanced and complete information.
