Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This single blinded randomised controlled study of junior orthopaedic trainees aims to assess whether the addition of simulation training improves arthroscopic technical skills performance of junior orthopaedic trainees during knee arthroscopy in the operating theatre compared to their usual clinical training programme. This will be assessed using objective motion analysis parameters recorded from wireless elbow-mounted motion sensors during surgery.
