Hip Arthroscopy Procedural Volume Is Low Among Graduating Orthopaedic Surgery Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to evaluate case volume and variability of hip arthroscopy exposure among graduating orthopaedic residents.

Methods

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) surgical case log data from 2016 to 2020 for graduating United States orthopaedic surgery residents were assessed. Arthroscopy procedures of the pelvis/hip were identified. The average number of cases performed per resident was compared from 2016 to 2020 to determine the percent change in case volume. The 10th, 30th, 50th, and 90th percentiles of case volumes from 2016 to 2020 were presented to demonstrate case volume variability.

Results

There was no change in the number of hip arthroscopy procedures between 2016 and 2020 [average: 8.4 ± 10 (range: 0 t
