The use of virtual reality to assess the bony landmarks at the knee joint – The role of imaging modality and the assessor's experience

At present, extended reality technologies such as virtual reality (VR) have gained popularity in orthopedic surgery. The first aim of this study was to assess the precision of VR and other imaging modalities – computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – to localize bony landmarks near the knee joint. Secondly, the impact of the educational level of the assessor – medical master students, orthopedic residents, and orthopedic surgeons – on the precision with which landmarks near t he knee joint could be localized was analyzed.
