Key result
Validated performance metrics combined with cadaveric or simulator models can distinguish expert surgeons from trainees in arthroscopic shoulder Bankart procedures.
Why the study?
Can validated metrics and shoulder models distinguish expert surgeons from trainees performing arthroscopic shoulder Bankart procedures?
Can validated metrics and shoulder models distinguish expert surgeons from trainees performing arthroscopic shoulder Bankart procedures?
Validated metrics combined with shoulder models can accurately assess surgical proficiency in arthroscopic Bankart procedures, with implications for training and credentialing.
Experts at performing arthroscopic shoulder Bankart procedures can be distinguished from surgical trainees using validated metrics and a cadaveric or simulator model. The combination of performance metrics plus models generates a tool that can be used to precisely and accurately define a performance threshold and assess whether or not a surgeon is proficient at performing a procedure. A tool that can be used to judge surgical expertise has implications for training and credentialing. Experienced surgeons make fewer mistakes and are faster than novices.
