Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary study parameter is the magnitude of knee joint stressing force. The expected end point is the analysis of the magnitude and variation of the joint stressing forces and the comparison with a theoretical maximum stressing force to set up a guideline for safe stressing. These safety levels will be used to implement force feedback in the arthroscopic simulators. As a result, residents will experience enhanced training, start their first arthroscopy with a higher competency level, and potentially shorten their learning curve with repeated simulator training. Eventually, this contributes to an increase of patient safety and decrease of surgical errors.	—
