Simulador de artroscopia de rodilla para desarrollar habilidades artroscópicas en los residentes de ortopedia y traumatología

Introduction: Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique. The practice and experience based on repetitions have been the most common method of learning, however, the necessary amount is uncertain and subjective, so repeatable, measurable, and comparable models are sought, making arthroscopy simulators an excellent option, since the constant repetition of this surgical technique favors the training of the operator. Objective: To evaluate the arthroscopic skills obtained through the use of the knee arthroscopy simulator in orthopedic and trauma residents. Material and methods: A practical knee arthroscopy simulator course was conducted with the «VirtaMed ArthroStm» knee medical training simulator in which six residents participated. It was divided into three stages. In each of the three stages, each resident was evaluated at the beginning and end of each stage, where the diagnostic tour was carried out. The following parameters were recorded: time spent in the diagnostic tour, time of telescopic misalignment with respect to the visual horizon, @https://dx.doi.org/0000/000 @ Orthotips. 2022; 18 (2): 00-134 Simulador de artroscopia de rodilla para desarrollar habilidades artroscópicas en los residentes de ortopedia y traumatología Knee arthroscopy simulator to develop arthroscopic skills in orthopedic and trauma residents José Félix Vílchez-Cavazos,* Mario Alberto Simental-Mendía,* Víctor Manuel Peña-Martínez,* Carlos Acosta-Olivo,* Alejandro Quiroga-Garza,‡ Rodrigo Enrique Elizondo-Omaña,‡ Santos Guzmán-López‡ *Servicio de Ortopedia y Traumatología, Hospital Universitario «Dr. José Eleuterio González», Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Monterrey, Nuevo León, México; ‡Departamento de Anatomía Humana, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León.
