Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Technology
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Orthopaedic Surgery Training

Background:

  • Limited literature exists on immersive virtual reality (VR) simulation in orthopaedic education.
  • The study addresses the need to evaluate novel training methods for surgical residents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the validity and efficacy of immersive VR training for orthopaedic residents.
  • To compare VR simulation against traditional learning methods in a multicenter, randomized controlled trial.

Main Methods:

  • Nineteen senior orthopaedic residents and 7 consultant surgeons participated.
  • Participants were randomized to immersive VR or traditional learning (journal article).
  • The task involved achieving optimal glenoid exposure, assessed via OSATS, lab metrics, and knowledge tests.

Main Results:

  • Immersive VR was superior in teaching glenoid exposure (p = 0.01) and task completion time (p = 0.04).
  • VR training reduced learning time by 570% and improved OSATS instrument handling scores (p = 0.03).
  • No significant differences were found in verbal or written knowledge scores between groups.

Conclusions:

  • Immersive VR substantially improves translational technical and nontechnical skills acquisition in orthopaedic residents.
  • The study demonstrates face, content, construct, and transfer validity for immersive VR in surgical education.
