Immersive VR on Orthopedic Surgical Skills and Knowledge Acquisition in Surgical Residents .
High Impact
This study has been identified as potentially high impact. OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself. Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone. This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

Effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality on Orthopedic Surgical Skills and Knowledge Acquisition Among Senior Surgical Residents: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

JAMA Netw Open. 2020 Dec 1;3(12):e2031217.

Eighteen senior orthopedic surgery residents were randomized to receive training for reverse shoulder arthroplasty using either immersive virtual reality (IVR) (n=9) or a video-based instructional method (n=9). The primary outcome was performance on the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS). Secondary outcomes included transfer of training (ToT), transfer effectiveness ratio (TER), cost-effectiveness ratio (CER), and validation of a novel Precision Score. Outcomes were assessed following a single training session and evaluated using cadaveric procedures. Overall, the results of the study revealed that IVR-trained residents had significantly higher OSATS scores and made fewer procedural errors compared to the control group. IVR training was also more time-efficient and cost-effective. These findings suggest IVR may be a valuable tool for enhancing surgical education and reducing learning curves.
