• W2484094532 abstract "Introduction: A learning curve is a recognised phenomenon in surgery. It implies that the frequency of peri-operative adverse events will decrease with the increase in experience of the surgeon. Evidence shows increased instruction and experience in a specific surgical task leads to improved performance. There is conflicting evidence as to whether there is a learning curve for total ankle replacement, and a paucity of evidence for foot and ankle surgery as a whole. Current evidence is centered on perioperative complications, rather than functional outcome. Aim: To determine whether a learning curve effect is present during the first year of independent practice by measuring patient outcome. Materials and Methods: 150 patients underwent elective foot or ankle surgery during the first 12 months of a newly appointed consultant’s practice. Preoperative and six month postoperative functional scores were recorded, together with perioperative complications. Two patients died of unrelated causes in the first 12 months. 121 patients (81.8%) were followed up for a minimum of six months by telephone. Functional outcome was assessed with a modified American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society midfoot Score (85 points). Outcome was compared between the first and second six-month periods using the student’s t-test. Results: Eighty procedures were undertaken during the first six months compared to 70 in the second. Total ankle replacements were only undertaken in the latter period. Otherwise there was no statistical difference in the caseload. One wound infection occurred during each period and other perioperative complications were equivalent. Functional improvement was greater in the group from the second 6 months (+23.86 v’s +18.69). This difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.061). Discussion and Conclusion: There is a trend, approaching significance, towards a learning curve during a foot and ankle consultant surgeon’s first year of practice. Collating data from other new consultants may demonstrate a learning curve with statistical significance." @default.
