Editorial Commentary: Improving Proficiency in Arthroscopic Knot Tying: Focus on Performance Over Appearance

摘要

Arthroscopic knot tying is a challenging motor skill that is best learned at the benchtop, before surgery on patients. Recent studies suggest that these skills can be improved by direct assessment of knot biomechanics, providing the learner with immediate and objective feedback. To optimize proficiency at arthroscopic knot tying, we focus on performance over appearance.
