Augmented Reality Navigation-Guided Core Decompression for Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head

Published on: April 12, 2022

Main Results:

  • Nine studies were included, focusing on computer simulator validation.
  • Simulators demonstrated high internal validity and consistency for knee and shoulder arthroscopy.
  • Skill-based outcome measures included task completion time and probe movement metrics.

Conclusions:

  • Computer simulators with haptic technology show high reliability for arthroscopic skill training.
  • Simulator training improved skills in inexperienced participants.
  • Further research is needed to confirm skill transfer and predictive validity for operating theater performance.
