Learning Arthroscopy

Authors: WALLACE E. MILLER MD

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Problems have been uncovered in learning arthroscopy at the resident level or for the beginner at any level of orthopedic practice. The problems are varied, and are not all present in the same individual. This study delineates problems involving vision impairments, depth perception, spatial recognition, speed of accommodation, and data confrontation requiring immediate action. Speed is an additional factor in relation to accomplishing a task within an acceptable time limit. Through testing mechanisms, surgeons can discover their own inadequacies and thus learn to perform well in this new field.
