Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Arthroscopic training is a core requirement in orthopaedic surgery residency programs.
  • Developing foundational arthroscopic surgical skills is crucial for resident competency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a cost-effective "black box" system for laboratory-based arthroscopic skills training.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of this training system for orthopaedic surgery residents.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized standard arthroscopy instrumentation within a "black box" simulator.
  • The "black box" was employed as both a dry and wet model for diverse technique practice.
  • Controlled laboratory environment for skill acquisition.
