Study Summary
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality are becoming prominent in the medical sciences due to the increasing sophistication of VR technology and its improving haptics to simulate real-life situations. Previous medical VR studies focused on arthroscopic minimally-invasive procedures which often do not carry the risk of invasive procedures. OssoVR, an orthopedic surgery virtual reality company, has created a platform to run through different invasive orthopedic procedures prior to operating on a patient. Given that invasive procedures inherently carry more risk and variability than minimally invasive procedures, training tools to help with these operations are vital prior to performing on a patient. The research team will evaluate the face validity, transfer validity, and surgical recall of the orthopedic virtual reality software in an intramedullary (IM) tibial nail procedure. The research team will evaluate the simulation with medical students who have not had prior exposure to the procedure. Including medical students will allow for a larger sample size for more analysis. An IM tibial nail procedure is used in tibial fractures to help stabilize the fractured long bone via placement of a nail within the bone.
