Surgical Skills Training Using Simulation for Basic and Complex Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

Surgical Skills Training Using Simulation for Basic and Complex Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. Orthop Clin North Am. 2021 Jan;52(1):1-13 Authors: Sepehri A, von Roth P, Stoffel K, Acklin Y, Oussedik S, Wijburg B, Wada A, Cunningham M, Masri BA Abstract Skills training is important in an arthroplasty curriculum and can focus either on "part tasks" or on full procedures. The most commonly used simulations in orthopedics including arthroplasty are anatomic specimens, dry bone models, and virtual or other technology-enhanced systems. A course curriculum planning committee must identify the gaps to address, define what learners need to be able to do, and select the most appropriate simulation modality and assessment for delivery. Each simulation must have a clear structure with learning objectives, steps, and take-home messages. Feedback from learners and faculty must be integrated to improve processes and models for future learning. PMID: 33222980 [PubMed - in process]
