Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Hand Movements Required by Participants to Perform a Diagnostic Arthroscopy of the Knee in Theatre — 544; 893 hand movements
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether simulation training improves the performance during arthroscopic surgery ('keyhole' surgery into a joint).
