Abstract

PURPOSE: Members of the European Knee Society (EKS) recently took part in an online questionnaire on robot-assisted TKA. The purpose of this study was to report and analyse the questionnaire results on the demographics of users versus non-users, the drivers for users of the technology, and the barriers or limitations that hinder the uptake of robot-assisted TKA.
