Abstract

Arthroscopic procedures, as compensatory tracking tasks requiring refined eye-hand coordination, are conducive to virtual reality (VR) simulation. This study tested the efficacy of a VR simulator vs a Sawbones static simulator in training orthopaedic residents to perform specific shoulder arthroscopic tasks.
