Abstract
INTRODUCTION Arthroscopic surgery is one of the most rapidly growing areas within orthopaedics, with surgical utilization reflecting this growth [1-3]. Hip arthroscopy (HA) has most recently seen a marked increase [...]
Hip arthroscopy (HA) is technically demanding and associated with a prolonged learning curve. Recently, arthroscopic simulators have been developed to anatomically model various joints including the knee, shoulder and hip. The purpose of this study is to validate a novel HA simulator. Twenty trainees and one sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon at a single academic institution were recruited to perform a diagnostic HA procedure using the VirtaMed ArthroS hip simulator. Trainee characteristics, including level of training, general arthroscopy experience and hip specific arthroscopy experience, were gathered via questionnaire. For the purpose of this study, participants were categorized as novice (
