Collaborative Team Training in Immersive Virtual Reality Is Superior to Individual Learning for Performing Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract:Superior teamwork in the operating theatre is associated with improved technical performance and clinical outcomes. Yet modern rota patterns, workforce shortages, and increasing complexity of surgery, means that there is less familiarity between staff and the required choreography. Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) can successfully train surgical staff individually, however iVR team training has yet to be investigated. We aimed to design a multiplayer iVR platform for anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (AA… Show more
