Validation of Improvement of Basic Competency in Arthroscopic Knot Tying Using a Bench Top Simulator in Orthopaedic Residency Education

The findings of this study indicated the importance of hands-on experience in performing arthroscopic knot tying, as determined by both knot performance and ultimate suture loop strength. In addition, each orthopaedic resident learned and developed his or her arthroscopic knot-tying skills and provided a foundation for his or her future practice in orthopaedic medicine.
