Published on: May 20, 2018

  • Assessment of skill development in areas like tool usage, procedural competency, and skill assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Laboratory training aids in developing fundamental surgical skills and assessing competency.
    • Simulation allows for practice of complex procedures with reduced patient risk and cost.
    • Evidence supporting surgical simulation's educational benefits in orthopaedics is currently limited.

    Conclusions:

    • Laboratory training provides a safe environment for skill acquisition and assessment.
    • Virtual simulation holds potential for orthopaedic resident education and surgeon proficiency maintenance.
    • Further research is needed to fully establish the educational impact of surgical simulation in orthopaedics.
