Abstract
Purpose
We performed a retrospective cohort study to assess the impact of resident participation on Bankart repair surgical outcomes over a 2-year mean follow-up period, by comparing clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between surgeries primarily performed by residents in training and those primarily performed by fellowship-trained attending shoulder surgeons. We hypothesised that there would be no difference in outcomes between the two groups.
Methods
All consecutive patients who underwent primary arthroscopic Bankart repair surgery for shoulder instability over a 4-year window in our institution were included. They were divided into two cohorts depending on whether they were performed primarily (>75% of the cases) by residents or attending surgeons. Standard preoperative, intraoperative and post-operative follow-up clinical (rates of recurrent instability and revision surgery) and PRO (Constant–Murley Score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Short Form Health Survey-36 and visual analogue scale) data were collected. Data were collected manually and analysed using logistic regression and linear mixed model analysis.
Results
Three hundred twenty patients met the inclusion criteria and were enroled into the present study. The mean age was 25.08 ± 8.43, with 290 males (90.6%). One hundred fifty-three cases (47%) were performed primarily by residents. Operative times were similar with no significant difference (p = 0.08). Both cohorts demonstrated significant improvements in both shoulder-specific and global outcomes post-operatively. The stability sub-score of the ASES score was lower in the residents group by a mean of 0.31 points (p = 0.027). All the other PROs were not significantly different between the two cohorts. The rate of recurrence was also low, with no significant difference between the two cohorts (5.9% vs 4.8%, p = 0.903).
Conclusion
We found that resident involvement in arthroscopic Bankart repair as primary surgeons did not adversely affect recurrence and revision surgery rates as well as PRO measures at 2 years post-operatively, provided they were adequately supervised by attending surgeons.
期刊介绍:
Few other areas of orthopedic surgery and traumatology have undergone such a dramatic evolution in the last 10 years as knee surgery, arthroscopy and sports traumatology. Ranked among the top 33% of journals in both Orthopedics and Sports Sciences, the goal of this European journal is to publish papers about innovative knee surgery, sports trauma surgery and arthroscopy. Each issue features a series of peer-reviewed articles that deal with diagnosis and management and with basic research. Each issue also contains at least one review article about an important clinical problem. Case presentations or short notes about technical innovations are also accepted for publication.
The articles cover all aspects of knee surgery and all types of sports trauma; in addition, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, and all types of arthroscopy (not only the knee but also the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, ankle, etc.) are addressed. Articles on new diagnostic techniques such as MRI and ultrasound and high-quality articles about the biomechanics of joints, muscles and tendons are included. Although this is largely a clinical journal, it is also open to basic research with clinical relevance.
Because the journal is supported by a distinguished European Editorial Board, assisted by an international Advisory Board, you can be assured that the journal maintains the highest standards.
Official Clinical Journal of the European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (ESSKA).
