Arthroscopy Simulator Training vs OR Training Knee (ASTOR)

April 19, 2018 updated by: Dr. Dan Prat MD, Sheba Medical Center

The Benefit of Arthroscopic Simulator Training Versus Operating Room Training in Diagnostic Knee Arthroscopy for Residents With Basic Arthroscopic Skills

The purpose of this study is to compare between two groups of residents with basic arthroscopic skills in diagnostic knee arthroscopy. The first group will train on a knee arthroscopic simulator in a lab, and the second group will perform diagnostic knee arthroscopy in the operating room. Both groups will be assessed by senior arthroscopy surgeon in the operating room based on selected competencies following the Global Rating System.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Global rating scale
Time Frame: completion of training
About 3 months will be needed for both study arms to complete the training in the arthroscopy lab and in the OR. Then, both will be assessed by the global rating scale for arthroscopy.
