Internet Promotion of Minimally Invasive and Computer-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery in Total Knee Arthroplasty by Members of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons

One of the responsibilities of the members of a specialty society such as the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) is to disseminate accurate information concerning the procedures they perform. The study addresses the question, “What is the level of promotion of MIS and CAOS TKA through the Internet sites of AAHKS members?”
