Randomized Controlled TrialImproving residency training in arthroscopic knee surgery with use of a virtual-reality simulator. A randomized blinded study.
There is a paucity of articles in the surgical literature demonstrating transfer validity (transfer of training). The purpose of this study was to assess whether skills learned on the ArthroSim virtual-reality arthroscopic knee simulator transferred to greater skill levels in the operating room. ⋯ We believe that the results of our study will stimulate residency program directors to incorporate surgical simulation into the core curriculum of their residency programs.
