This report provides flexible guidelines for defining arthroscopic surgery privileges, emphasizing direct observation of skills for credentialing. Competence in arthroscopic surgery requires more than just training completion.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Surgical Credentialing

Background:

  • Arthroscopy Association of North America guidelines are essential for surgical centers.
  • Training completion alone does not ensure surgical competence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish flexible guidelines for defining arthroscopic surgery privileges.
  • To outline essential components of the credentialing process for arthroscopic surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Defining threshold criteria for applicants, including licensure and prior experience.
  • Categorizing arthroscopic procedures into basic and advanced levels of complexity.

Main Results:

  • Established criteria for state licensure, residency completion, and documented experience.
