Background. The Fracture Fixation Assessment Tool score (FFATs) was developed as an objective evaluation of post-operative fracture fixation radiographs as a means of appraisal and education. The tool has proven validity, simple to use and based upon AO principles of fracture fixation. This study has been designed to assess how FFATs changes throughout the training program in the UK. Methods. The local trauma database of a district general hospital, with trauma unit status was used to identify cases. Although FFATs is designed to apply to any fracture fixation, Weber B ankle fractures were selected as common injuries, which constitute indicative cases in T&O training. Grade of the primary surgeon and supervision level were both stratified. The initial and intraoperative radiographs were anonymised and presented to the assessor who had been blinded to the identity and grade of the surgeon, for scoring using FFATs. Results. 293 fractures around the ankle were identified from the Database between 2013 and 2016. After applying the inclusion criteria of Weber B fractures operatively fixed, Specialist training registrars and consultants, there were 99 cases for evaluation. These were grouped by training experience into 4 groups. (ST3-4, ST5-6, ST7-8, Consultants) and demonstrated a trend of increasing scores with experience level with a dip in consultant scores, albeit not statistically significant due to low numbers of cases at higher training grades. Conclusions. We present our first experience of using FFATs in a uniform series of fractures in surgeons of different training grades. There is a trend to increasing scores throughout training with a dip in consultant scores likely reflecting increased complexity of cases. Implications. FFATs could prove to be an invaluable appraisal tool for teaching and mentoring surgeons in training both locally in the United Kingdom and remotely overseas
