OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety of senior residents performing trochanteric hip fracture surgery without immediate consultant supervision DESIGN: A retrospective chart review of trochanteric hip fractures (AO-OTA 31-A) operated in a single center between years 2011 and 2016 (inclusive). Operations were divided into three groups: Group 1 surgeon was a senior resident without any immediate supervision; Group 2 surgeon was a consultant and Group 3surgeon was a senior resident supervised by a consultant. The follow-up period was a minimum of 2 years or until death. All re-operations and surgical related mortality were assessed. SETTING: Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. A tertiary level trauma center. PARTICIPANTS: 987 consecutive trochant...
