Discovering Potential Interest in New Concept Device among Non-Surgeons

New devices come on the market all the time. Getting physicians to try it is difficult, but long-term adoption can be multiple time more complicated. This study looked to determine if non-surgeons who typically would not perform any interventional back procedures would consider adopting a minimally invasive technique.
