Abstract

Objectives: To develop and validate a novel, low-cost shoulder arthroscopy partial task trainer. 

Study Design: Cross-sectional study

Methods: A low-cost arthroscopy model was created to simulate navigation and triangulation skills in conjunction with ABOS-certified Orthopaedic surgeons' input. Each participant performed three trials of simulated labral repair and performance data was compared between experienced surgeons and novice medical students.

Results: A total of 8 orthopaedic surgeons in the experienced group and 18 medical students in the novice group participated in the study. The average age of the experienced group was 43.1 years old, with 8.3 years of post-residency experience. The average age of the novice group was 24.3 years. The experienced group completed the simulation task faster than the novice group (16.6±7.6 vs. 96.4 ±102.2 seconds; p<0.001).

Conclusion: The shoulder arthroscopy model demonstrated significant differences in performance between experienced orthopaedic surgeons and novices when used to assess a standardized basic arthroscopic technical skill. This low-cost trainer discriminates between varying skill levels and may be an effective option for simulation training of arthroscopic fundamentals to novice learners.
