Evaluated 4 consultants learning a procedure. The learning curve was longer expected with implications for proposed shortened training programmes and a reduction in operative experience.

With shortened training programmes advocated, we have established a learning curve for hip resurfacing in experienced consultants.

We prospectively planned the placement of a hip resurfacing prosthesis. Using CUSUM analysis we established how long it took for consistent placement of the prosthesis to take place.

4 experienced surgeons learning the hip resurfacing procedure were included. Thus negating the need to learn basic surgical skills. Evaluating the first 100 cases of each, showed that the learning curve between planned and achieved implant position was in the order of 50 cases.

The learning curve was longer than estimated and has huge implications, with shortened training programmes and less operative exposure being advocated throughout the world.
