Validation Studies
This comparative cross-sectional study contrasts the automated performance reports for novice and expert orthopedic surgeons after executing surgical tasks on the ARTHRO Mentor virtual reality simulator. Setting Surgical simulation center at the University of Chile Clinical Hospital, Santiago, Chile. ARTHRO Mentor simulator for knee arthroscopy showed good construct validity, with performance metrics accurately discriminating between expert and novice users.
The results of this study demonstrate learning curves for a hip arthroscopy simulator, with significant improvements seen after three sessions. All performance metrics were found to improved, demonstrating sufcient visuo-haptic consistency within the virtual environment, enabling individuals to develop basic arthroscopic skills.
