Technological advances such as computer navigation systems and robotics, including support systems for minimally invasive surgery, have the potential to revolutionise how orthopaedic surgery is carried out. However uptake has so far been limited. Increased awareness of user requirements in adoption decision-making will be useful. In this regard, the opinion of the individual surgeon regarding his or her willingness to engage in a novel technology has rarely been garnished. This paper analyses the opinions of orthopaedic consultants from the UK and USA about technological advances in hip and knee arthroplasty, factors contributing to successful short-term and long-term surgical outcome, and patient preferences. The survey, using a web-based questionnaire, was carried out in 2006-2007 and followed up in 2010. The results of this research give a greater insight into why surgical technologies that have the potential to improve patient outcome are not more speedily adopted in the health service. |
