Evaluation of a New Virtual Reality Concept Teaching K-Wire Drilling With Force Feedback Simulated Haptic in Orthopedic Skills Training

CONCLUSIONS: Training with the VR simulator for K-wire insertion resulted in better surgical skills than training by a surgeon and cadaver model.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Training with the VR simulator provides the opportunity to improve and refine surgical skills without the risk of harming patients. It offers easier access, unlimited repetitions, and is more cost-effective compared with training sessions with cadavers.PMID:34857404 | DOI:10.1016/j.jhsa.2021.09.008
