Area of Science:

Orthopaedic Surgery
Medical Simulation
Surgical Education

Background:

Immersive virtual reality (iVR) is increasingly utilized in orthopaedic education.
Prior studies show iVR training enhances trainee performance in simulated environments.

Observation:

This case report presents the first documented instance of direct patient care following iVR training.
A percutaneous pinning procedure for slipped capital femoral epiphysis was performed after iVR simulation.

Findings:

The study demonstrates the immediate translation of surgical skills acquired through iVR to an actual operating room setting.
This represents a successful application of iVR in a clinical context.

Implications:

This highlights the potential for iVR to improve surgical skill transfer and enhance patient safety.
The cost-effectiveness of iVR training through direct skill application is a significant consideration for medical education.
