The Bonedoc DHS simulator is a virtual reality simulator of screw and plate fixation of hip fractures which runs on a standard PC. We hypothesised that the simulator would be able to discriminate between subjects with different levels of operative experience.Three groups (medical students (MSs), basic trainees (BTs), and advanced trainees (ATs)) performed six virtual operations. Measurements included:...
We report development of a PC-based virtual reality training system for hip fracture fixation that comprises a surgical simulator and an assessment component. The simulator allows hip fracture fixation to be performed on a virtual hip model using two-dimensional radiographic images to guide fracture reduction and implant placement. Ten operative scenarios with increasing complexities of fracture type...
Fractures of lumbar vertebrae may be associated with abdominal organ injuries. Lumbar transverse process fractures are commonly thought of as minor injuries compared with body, pedicle and lamina fractures. To determine the significance of transverse process fractures as opposed to other lumbar vertebral fractures in relation to abdominal organ injury, a retrospective study was performed. One hundred...
