| Popis: | Introduction: Working-hour restrictions, rota gaps and an increasing drive for theatre efficiency have resulted in challenges to surgical training. As a result, Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a popular tool to augment this training. Our aim was to evaluate the validity of a VR simulator for performing percutaneous pedicle screw guidewire insertion. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four participants were divided into three equal groups depending on prior surgical experience: a novice group (50 procedures). All subjects performed four guidewire insertions on a TraumaVision® simulator (Swemac Innovation AB, Linköping, Sweden) in a set order. Six outcome measures were recorded; total score, time, fluoroscopy exposure, wire depth, zone of placement and wall violations. Results: There were statistically significant differences between the groups for time taken (p |
