Sectioned pig knees offer a cost-effective and realistic arthroscopic training model for surgeons. This method provides comparable anatomy to human knees, aiding in technique mastery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Arthroscopy is a technically demanding surgical procedure requiring extensive practice.
  • Existing training models for arthroscopy have limitations, with few successful in vivo options reported.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of sectioned pig knee joints as a practical training model for arthroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized sectioned pig knee joints for surgical training and practice.
  • Assessed the model based on cost-effectiveness, ease of use, storage, realism, and anatomical similarity to human knees.

Main Results:

  • Sectioned pig knees are a cost-effective and user-friendly training tool.
  • The model offers realistic surgical simulation with anatomical structures comparable to the human knee.
