To determine whether a global rating scale (GRS) with construct validity can also be used to assess the learning curve of individual orthopaedic trainees during simulated arthroscopic knee meniscal repair. An established arthroscopic GRS was used to evaluate the technical skill of 19 orthopaedic res...
