This study investigated the effects of forceps type and operation condition on SMT repair performance. Forceps type and operation condition significantly affected SMT repair performance, with straight handle, pointed end, and no obstacle operation condition resulting better SMT repair performance. The interaction of handle type and operation condition also significantly affected SMT repair performance. The effects of handle types with no obstacle operation condition were no significantly difference. But, with obstacle operation condition, straight handle resulting better SMT repair performance. Forceps end type was the only factor that significantly affected SMT missing rate, with pointed end result lower SMT missing rate. In conclusion, the forceps with straight handle and pointed end might appropriate for SMT repair operation.
