Virtual reality simulators may help orthopaedists hone their arthroscopic surgical skills without affecting negatively patient morbidity and operating room costs.
Dr. Robert A. Pedowitz and colleagues at the University of California, San Diego and the Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Van Nuys, California, United States, evaluated the usefulness of a virtual reality shoulder arthroscopy simulator.
The simulator, from Mentice Corp, in Gothenberg, Sweden, consists of a computer-based, dual-force feedback system with video monitor and modeled structures that include cartilage, labrum, ligaments, biceps tendon, and rotator cuff.
