Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Skills Training

Background:

  • Arthroscopic surgery demands advanced visuospatial and psychomotor skills.
  • Traditional training methods include mentorship and cadaveric dissection.
  • High-fidelity simulators are effective but often expensive and inaccessible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the technical effectiveness of the "Arthrozero" 3D-printed arthroscopic simulator for home-based training.
  • To evaluate its impact on improving basic arthroscopic skills in orthopedic residents.
  • To compare its efficacy against traditional arthroscope training and a control group.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-three orthopedic residents were randomized into three groups: Arthrozero training (ZERO), real arthroscope training (ARTHRO), and control (CONTROL).
  • Training involved four progressively complex tasks on a FAST-like workstation.
  • Performance was measured by task completion time, "looks down," and a Shoulder Challenge assessment; participant satisfaction was surveyed.

Main Results:

  • Both ZERO and ARTHRO groups showed significant skill improvement (p < 0.05), unlike the CONTROL group.
  • In the Shoulder Challenge, mean completion times were 394.1s (ZERO), 456.1s (ARTHRO), and 745.5s (CONTROL) (p < 0.01).
  • No significant difference in performance was found between the ZERO and ARTHRO groups (p = 0.276).

Conclusions:

  • The Arthrozero simulator effectively enhanced basic arthroscopic skills.
  • It offers a potential accessible training solution for early skill acquisition in arthroscopic surgery.
  • Home-based simulation can complement traditional orthopedic training methods.
