摘要

The use of technology in adult reconstruction (AR) reflects a balance of perceived utility, workflow considerations, and training exposure. This study evaluated whether exposure to technology during residency and fellowship training influences early-career AR surgeons’ utilization of and attitudes towards technology in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). An online survey was distributed to a nationwide cohort of 51 AR surgeons who completed fellowship between 2011 and 2022 at 13 U.S. programs. Survey items assessed exposure to technology during training, utilization, and perceived impact of technology on clinical practice. 36 surgeons (71%) reported using technology in fewer than half their training cases (< 50% group), while 15 (29%) reported use in the majority of cases (> 50% group). Most surgeons (88%) reported access to technology in their current practice, with no statistically significant difference between training exposure groups (p = 0.999). Similarly, among those with access, most surgeons (78%) reported using technology in their current practice, with no statistically significant difference between training groups (p = 0.238). However, surgeons with greater exposure rated the importance of technology in TJA and its impact on patient outcomes significantly higher (p = 0.003 for both). Greater exposure to technology during training was thus associated with higher perceived value, though no significant differences in access or utilization in early practice were observed.
