Post-traumatic joint conditions cause trauma, and many conditions need to be addressed surgically. The latest technique is nanoarthroscopy, which allows to use immersive virtual reality to minimize the stress of surgery. Previous studies have investigated patients’ subjective ratings of their perception of stress from surgery. This article describes the theoretical foundations to objectify the use of virtual reality (VR) that may distract patients from experiencing stress during surgery. During a nano-arthroscopy, when a patient watches a movie through a 3D VR device or on a 2D monitor, his or her stress is gradually reduced. Watching movie using a VR device during a nanoarthroscopy will calm the patient more than watching it on a 2D monitor. This study confirmed that the use of virtual reality to reduce stress during nanoarthroscopy provides new innovative technology in medicine.
