Abstract

We have introduced a radiological scoring system to assess our technical competence in hip replacement surgery and the progress of the registrars in our training programme. The scoring method involves several parameters, including positioning of the components and the quality of interfaces.

We compared our results before and after the introduction of this scoring system, and found that the quality of our surgery had improved. We conclude that an objective scoring system is valuable as a training aid, as well as in maintaining standards in our unit.
