Pediatric Shoulder Arthroscopy Case Volume Is Uniformly Low for Graduating Orthopaedic Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate shoulder arthroscopy case volume for graduating United States orthopaedic surgery residents.

Methods

We used the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education case log records to evaluate reports from academic years 2016 to 2020. Logs were queried for pediatric, adult, and total (pediatric and adult) cases. The 10th, 30th, 50th, and 90th percentiles of case volumes from 2016 to 2020 were presented to demonstrate case volume variability.

Results

There was a significant increase in the average number of total (70.7 ± 35 vs 81.8 ± 45; P < .001), adult (69 ± 34 vs 79.7 ± 44; P < .001), and pediatric (1.8 ± 2 vs 2.2 ± 3; P = .003) shoulder arthroscopy cases performed by orthopaedic surgery residents between the academic year
