Resident Performance on the Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training (FAST) Workstation Does Not Predictably Improve With Postgraduate Year.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify differences in performance on the Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training (FAST) workstation between residents across different postgraduate years and training sites.

Methods

During the 2018-2019 academic year, 102 orthopaedic surgery residents from 4 training sites completed 6 FAST modules. Failure was defined as either completion time exceeding benchmark time or commission of task-specific errors. With the exception of knot tying, each module was completed by participants twice-once with each hand serving as the camera hand. Time to completion (except for knot tying) and errors were recorded for each of the modules. Completion times and failure rates were compared between postgraduate years, seniority groups, and training sites.
