Popis: Background: In 2013, the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) instituted a case minimum requirement for orthopaedic residents. It is unknown how pediatric orthopaedic case volume and variability have been affected by this change. Methods: The ACGME orthopaedic surgery case log data from 2007 to 2020 were used to evaluate the number and type of pediatric orthopaedic procedures logged by graduating residents. The mean and median number of cases logged were compared for the years before (2007-2013) and after (2014-2020) the case minimum implementation using a Student t-test.
