Expert Performance on a Hip Wire Navigation Simulator Provides a Basis for Establishing Benchmarks to Define Skill Proficiency

Key Points

• The aim is to establish proficiency benchmarks for hip fracture pinning using a simulator to guide surgical training.
• Utilized a hip wire navigation simulator to assess performance.
• Set a benchmark score of 0.5 on the IDEA scale for skill proficiency.
• Evaluated the implications of these scores for competency-based progression.
• Proficiency standards indicate necessary technical skill for safe operating room performance.
• Future analysis will explore the link between simulator benchmarks and real-world outcomes.
