The effect of simulation training on resident proficiency in thoracolumbar pedicle screw placement using computer-assisted navigation.
CONCLUSIONS: A standardized curriculum using synthetic simulation training for navigated thoracolumbar pedicle screw placement results in significantly improved resident subjective and objective proficiency. Development of a nationwide competency curriculum using simulation training for spinal instrumentation placement should be considered for safe, efficient resident training.
