Establishing Benchmarks for Case Minimum Requirements During Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–Accredited Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellowship Training

Surgical benchmarks can assist future trainees and faculty identify areas to improve the operative experience and reduce variability during fellowship training. The operative experience of recent fellows suggests a potential case minimum target between 179 and 239 cases to achieve the 10th and 30th percentiles, respectively. However, further research is needed to establish evidence-based case minimum requirements for ACGME-accredited orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship training.
