Experienced surgeons outperform novices on the Mentice Corp Procedicus shoulder arthroscopy simulator, validating its use in surgical training. The simulator effectively teaches instrument control and triangulation for shoulder arthroscopy procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Formal evaluation of surgical simulators is crucial before integration into training curricula.
  • The Mentice Corp Procedicus shoulder arthroscopy simulator requires assessment for its efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the construct validity of the shoulder arthroscopy simulator.
  • To determine if experienced surgeons score higher than novices on the simulator.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-five subjects were stratified into novice, intermediate, and expert groups based on shoulder arthroscopy experience.
  • All subjects completed identical sessions involving anatomic identification, hook manipulations, and scope navigation exercises.
  • Performance metrics including speed and accuracy were recorded for each exercise.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant differences were observed in hook manipulation and scope navigation, with experts performing faster (P=.013) and more accurately (P=.002).
  • No significant differences were found in anatomic identification tasks among the groups.
  • Experts rated the simulator highly for teaching instrument control (4.22/5) and triangulation (4.44/5).

Conclusions:

  • The study supports the construct validity of the shoulder arthroscopy simulator.
  • The simulator demonstrates effectiveness as a teaching tool for surgical residents and fellows.
  • The Mentice Corp Procedicus simulator is a valuable instrument for surgical training in shoulder arthroscopy.
