The objective of this study was to understand the frequency and types of complications, and the associated postoperative outcomes within the first 5 years of practice after hand and upper extremity surgery fellowship.
This was a retrospective observational study of all patients seen and surgically treated by a single surgeon at a single institution from August 2014 to September 2019. This corresponded to the first 5 years of practice after fellowship. Data collected included patient demographics, perioperative data, complication type, and outcome of the complication (better/same/worse than preoperative status). Complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo system and a unique, self-derived system.
In total, 3301 surgeries were performed during the first 5 years of practice. The overall complication rate was 7.9% (261 complications from 239 patients). The 30-day complication rate was 5.2% (171/3301). Eleven (4.2%) of the 261 complications occurred intraoperatively. The total number of complications significantly declined during the first 5 years of practice as follows: 74, 71, 46, 37, and 33 ( = .010, = .92). Hand and wrist were the most frequent anatomic locations involved and bone pathology was the predominant indication.
The overall surgical complication rate for hand and upper extremity surgery was 7.9%, with a 30-day complication rate of 5.2% (171/3301). The rate of complications after fellowship declined over the first 5 years of independent practice. Superficial infections were the most common complication. More than 90% of patients ultimately improved after addressing the complication.

本研究的目的是了解手部和上肢外科 fellowship 培训后的头 5 年实践中并发症的频率和类型,以及相关的术后结果。
这是一项回顾性观察研究,对象为 2014 年 8 月至 2019 年 9 月在单一机构由单一外科医生诊治并接受手术治疗的所有患者。这对应于 fellowship 培训后的头 5 年实践。收集的数据包括患者人口统计学资料、围手术期数据、并发症类型以及并发症的结果(比术前状态更好/相同/更差)。并发症采用 Clavien-Dindo 系统和一种独特的自行设计的系统进行分类。
在实践的头 5 年中,共进行了 3301 例手术。总体并发症发生率为 7.9%(239 例患者发生 261 例并发症)。30 天并发症发生率为 5.2%(171/3301)。261 例并发症中有 11 例(4.2%)发生在术中。在实践的头 5 年中,并发症总数显著下降,如下所示:74 例、71 例、46 例、37 例和 33 例( = .010, = .92)。手部和腕部是最常受累的解剖部位,骨病理是主要指征。
手部和上肢手术的总体手术并发症发生率为 7.9%,30 天并发症发生率为 5.2%(171/3301)。fellowship 培训后的并发症发生率在独立实践的头 5 年中有所下降。浅表感染是最常见的并发症。超过 90%的患者在处理并发症后最终病情改善。
