Virtual simulation with haptic technology: a training method for knee surgery
Simulación virtual con tecnología háptica: entrenamiento para la cirugía de rodilla
Show authors biography
A broad learning curve is required for knee surgery either conducted by arthroscopy or open surgery to ensure excellent results. During years, many processes have been used, from observation to virtual reality systems. A preliminary report on our experience with a virtual simulation system based on haptic technology to conduct training in knee joint replacement at Hospital de San José de Bogotá DC is herein presented. The incursion of computer systems in medical education and the use of simulators to learn surgical procedures are key tools for the trainees. Although, currently there is no study with statistical validity to demonstrate this method is the best training system, in our experience, virtual reality and haptic technology facilitate the acquisition of communicative, clinical and psychomotor skills, reduce the necessary time to learn skills and expertise acquired is easily transferred to reality.
