original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Effectiveness of Cognitive Training for Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty
J Bone Joint Surg Am.2020;102(2):e7.Resident education in surgery has traditionally occurred mostly in the operating room, with learners gradually taking on more responsibility as they progress. With the advent of new technologies (e.g. virtual reality, 3D printing) and new pedagogical philosophies (e.g. competency-based education), there is potential for surgical education to be supplemented and improved beyond the walls of the operating room. In this study, the authors used Cognitive Task Analysis to develop an open access online learning module which residents then used to learn direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (DAA THA). These residents were compared to others who received standard education. The outcomes were speed and accuracy on a virtual reality DAA THA procedure. Participants in the Cognitive Task Analysis group performed the procedure significantly faster with fewer prompts and errors, and placed their components more accurately. Nearly all residents felt the tool was useful in their learning.
