Awareness of interventional radiology and image guided musculoskeletal interventions among orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and physiatrists : A multi-site analysis
Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc..
PURPOSE: Evaluate physicians who treat musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders in their knowledge of image-guided MSK interventions, and identify areas that could benefit from education.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 17-question survey was distributed to orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists, and rheumatologists in the 14-hospital health system. It inquired about demographics, practice environment, awareness of interventional radiology (IR) and MSK radiology (MSKR) training, referral patterns, and knowledge of image-guided MSK interventions.
RESULTS: In total, 59 of 303 physicians completed the survey (41% orthopaedists, 35% physiatrists, and 24% rheumatologists). Most (93%) were attendings and 41% were female. A minority of survey respondents (17%) recognized the designation of IR as a distinct specialty of medicine per the American Board of Medical Specialties, in contrast to MSKR, which is not designated as a distinct specialty. When queried about IR procedures not under investigation, 24% selected genicular artery embolization and 31% selected embolization for adhesive capsulitis. Barriers to referral were as follows: 21% of specialists performed the procedure, 17% listed electronic medical record challenges, 14% reported scheduling difficulty, 13% reported no barriers, 11% reported difficulty consulting, 11% referred to another specialty, 10% did not have enough knowledge of image guided procedures, and 3% reported the procedure is not performed by IR or MSKR.
CONCLUSIONS: Survey data reveal a knowledge gap among surveyed physicians regarding IR as a specialty as well as areas of IR research in MSK disorders. Findings suggest areas where referring physicians can be educated and identify barriers to referral.
