Summary

The goal of this study is to find out if virtual reality (VR) training helps orthopedic residents improve their skills in placing screws in the pelvic bone. The study will also compare VR training with standard training to see which method is more effective and easier to use.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does VR training improve performance compared to standard training? Does VR training help reduce procedure time and X-ray use? Do participants prefer VR training? Researchers will compare VR training with standard training using a crossover design, where all participants receive both types of training.

Participants will:

Take part in both VR and standard training sessions Practice the procedure on a bone model Be evaluated by experts on their performance Complete a satisfaction questionnaire

Conditions

  • Virtual Reality Simulation

Interventions

DEVICE

Virtual reality based simulation training

Participants train using a VR platform simulating antegrade anterior column screw placement. Three-dimensional pelvic models reconstructed from CT data are integrated into a virtual operating environment. Participants interact using a VR headset with simulated instruments and fluoroscopic imaging, allowing repeated practice with real-time feedback. Duration: up to 30 minutes.

OTHER

Standard Training

Participants perform screw placement on a pelvic sawbone model under fluoroscopic guidance using standard instruments, including a 2.0 mm K-wire. The setup simulates real operative conditions. Duration: up to 30 minutes.
