The Learning Curve in Hip Arthroscopy: Effect on Total Operating Room and Surgical Times-Dr. Guillaume D. Dumont, M.D.

Video Summary

The speaker expresses gratitude to co-authors and the program committee for allowing them to present research on the learning curve of hip arthroscopy. They note that while the procedure has seen significant growth, it remains challenging and requires specialty training. The study aimed to measure the effect of the learning curve on total operating room time, including surgical and setup time. A retrospective review of 225 cases showed a decrease in surgical and total OR time as the surgeon advanced through the learning curve. However, setup time decreased less. The study concludes that there is a learning curve for hip arthroscopy, and surgeons should plan for adequate time during their early careers.
