Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Arthroscopy is a vital sports medicine technique but has a steep learning curve.
  • Scarcity and high cost of traditional arthroscopy simulators limit training.
  • Novel, accessible training methods are needed to overcome these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate an open-access arthroscopy training program.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a 3D-printed simulator for surgical skill acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D-printed arthroscopy simulator model was designed for home use.
  • Fourteen progressive exercises targeted specific arthroscopic skills.
  • Twenty subjects trained using the simulator and were evaluated with the Arthroscopic Surgical Skill Evaluation Tool (ASSET).

Main Results:

  • The 3D-printed simulator cost under US$12 to produce.
  • Subjects showed improved basic arthroscopic skills, with consistent repetition counts indicating a smooth learning curve.
  • Eighty-five percent of participants completed the program.

Conclusions:

  • The 3D-printed simulator is easy to print, accessible, economical, and effective for training.
  • This represents the first structured, open-access program using a 3D-printed simulator to achieve satisfactory results.
  • The program effectively enhances basic arthroscopic skills, addressing limitations of traditional training methods.
