Surgeon decision-making and implant selection in primary total knee arthroplasty: association of training, experience, and robotic-assisted surgical innovation with implant selection

Implant selection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a critical yet variable aspect of surgical decision-making, associated with both patient characteristics and surgeon-related factors. With the increasing integration of surgical innovations such as robotic-assisted techniques, understanding contemporary determinants of implant choice has become essential. This study aimed to evaluate implant selection patterns and identify independent factors associated with the use of cruciate-retaining (CR) vs. posterior-stabilized (PS) implants in a modern clinical setting.
