The Effect of Time During the Academic Year or Resident Training Level on Complication Rates After Lower-Extremity Orthopaedic Trauma Procedures

摘要

Background: Few studies have evaluated the effect of resident participation on morbidity and mortality after orthopaedic trauma surgery. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether complications after orthopaedic trauma procedures involving residents correlate with the level of resident training and the timing in the academic year.
