This study introduces a safe and effective arthroscopy training course using bovine knees and motor skill devices. The program significantly improved participants' diagnostic arthroscopy skills, providing a strong foundation before patient procedures.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Surgical Skills Training
Orthopedics

Background:

Traditional arthroscopy training lacks sufficient hands-on practice.
Developing effective simulation methods is crucial for surgical education.
Motor skill learning theory offers a framework for skill acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a basic arthroscopy training course.
To assess the effectiveness of interactive methods, including bovine knees and motor skill devices.
To provide a safe and replicable training model for arthroscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

A 2-day course incorporating small group teaching, demonstrations, and continuous feedback.
Utilized bovine knees as simulators for arthroscopic procedures.

Employed motor skill training principles and expert evaluation with a standardized checklist.

Collected participant feedback via questionnaires and self-ratings.

Main Results:

The course received an overall rating of 4.36/5, with 90% of participants meeting expectations.
Significant improvement in self-rated basic diagnostic arthroscopy skills (4.2 to 7.7, P < 0.001).
Bovine knee practice, supervised repetition, and immediate feedback were identified as most beneficial.

Conclusions:

A training course focused on motor skill development using bovine knees is a safe, cost-effective, and effective method for foundational arthroscopic skill acquisition.
This approach provides a humanistic and replicable learning experience prior to patient contact.
The program successfully enhanced participants' competence in diagnostic arthroscopy skills.
