A Prospective Randomised Controlled Study Assessing the Impact of Simulation Training in Primary Total Hip Replacement (THR).
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Surgical simulation training in primary Total Hip Arthroplasty, No intervention: Surgical Resident Control Group, and 1 other intervention for Hip Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 243 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This research study is focused upon assessing and optimising surgeon's performance during, and patient outcomes following, primary total hip replacement (THR) surgery. The primary research question is to determine if additional simulation training can improve the intra-operative performance of surgical trainees (Residents) during a THR, or the outcome of patients after their THR. The investigators will aim to define an 'expert' standard in performing a primary elective THR, which may be used as a benchmark when assessing surgical trainee performance; and also determine if operative surgeon performance metrics during a THR are correlated with surgical experience, or patient outcomes.

Timeline
Interventions
The simulation-based and cognitive learning package will be delivered to a randomised sub-group of 50% of the Surgical Residents recruited into this study. This will be delivered in a supervised non-clinical setting within a dedicated University-owned simulation laboratory over a 4-week period for between 1 to 2 hours per week, over 3 to 4 consecutive but separate six-month placements.
