“…26 As VR addition has been successful in other surgical subspecialties in the United States with demonstrated benefits towards patient safety, transition to a VR model would most likely improve outcomes and support further interaction between educators in major academic centers to learners in low-resource settings. 27 Our investigation is not without limitations, including its descriptive nature and the inherent limitations associated with survey studies, such as respondent selection bias. This study reports on utilization and user-reported outcomes and does not test the benefit to training or patient safety.…”

Background: In October 2012, an open-access, multimedia digital cleft simulator was released. Its purpose was to address global disparities in cleft surgery education, providing an easily accessible surgical atlas for trainees globally. The simulator platform includes a three-dimensional surgical simulation of cleft care procedures, intraoperative videos, and voiceover. This report aims to assess the simulator's demographics and usage in its tenth year since inception. Finally, we also aim to understand the traction of virtual reality in cleft surgical education. Methods: Usage data of the simulator over 10 years were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Data parameters included the number of users, sessions, countries reached, and content access. An electronic survey was emailed to registered users to assess the benefits of the simulator. Results: The total number of new and active simulator users reached 7687 and 12,042. The simulator was accessed an average of 172.9.0 ± 197.5 times per month. Low- to middle-income regions accounted for 43% of these sessions. The mean session duration was 11.4 ± 6.3 minutes, yielding a total screen time of 3022 hours. A total of 331 individuals responded to the survey, of whom 80.8% found the simulator to be very useful or extremely useful. Of those involved in education, 45.0% implemented the simulator as a teaching tool. Conclusions: Global utilization of the simulator has been sustained after 10 years from inception with an increased presence in low- to middle-income nations. Future similar surgical simulators may provide sustainable training platforms to surgeons in low- and high-resource areas.

Background Post-pandemic era has provided an opportunity for new educational theory as long as the new way to make use of technology. This paper puts forward the architecture of the multimodal teaching interaction model and the prospect of application situations combining the research foundations of technological phenomenology and multimodal theory. Objective This paper aims to clarify a multimodal teaching interaction model perspective, we hope the interactive feedback between medical education subjects can be improved, meet the teaching and learning needs in the post-epidemic era, and promote the development of medical education reform. The focal point is the characteristics, structure, and application of MTIM. Method Using the behavioral education model, situational learning, and human-computer interaction theory as the theoretical framework, we take the medical teaching model as the background, combined with cutting-edge virtual reality, haptic feedback, gesture interaction, and other technologies, rely on the multi-level application architecture such as physical layer and perceptual feedback layer, to successfully build a teaching method of multimodal virtual experience and the overall conceptual framework of learning scenarios. Results This is an innovative conceptual model that focuses on the fundamentals of the overall framework. The characteristics of the model have obvious application advantages in three types of virtual medical education scenarios: "Theoretical knowledge learning", "Operational skill learning" and "Practical experiential learning". And through the characteristics of model immersion, collaboration, dynamic feedback, and other characteristics, the cross-spatial connection between virtual and real is established, which greatly breaks through the limitations of space scenes. Conclusion The multimodal teaching interaction model(MTIM) broadens the application scenarios of teaching, effectively enhances the sense of reality and experience of situational teaching, has great application prospects for promoting the development of medical education reform, and provides some feasible ideas and suggestions for the future development of artificial intelligence in medical education.

“…Several studies have reported the advantages of both high- and low-fidelity VR over conventional surgical training modalities [ 34 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 ]. In the current era of surgical training, it has become increasingly clear that the required skill sets in specialist orthopaedics training cannot be solely realised in the clinical setting.…”

Background and Objectives: Bone fractures contribute significantly to the global disease and disability burden and are associated with a high and escalating incidence and tremendous economic consequences. The increasingly challenging climate of orthopaedic training and practice re-echoes the established potential of leveraging computer-based reality technologies to support patient-specific simulations for procedural teaching and surgical precision. Unfortunately, despite the recognised potential of virtual reality technologies in orthopaedic surgery, its adoption and integration, particularly in fracture procedures, have lagged behind other surgical specialities. We aimed to review the available virtual reality systems adapted for orthopaedic trauma procedures. Materials and Methods: We performed an extensive literature search in Medline (PubMed), Science Direct, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar and presented a narrative synthesis of the state of the art on virtual reality systems for bone trauma procedures. Results: We categorised existing simulation modalities into those for fracture fixation techniques, drilling procedures, and prosthetic design and implantation and described the important technical features, as well as their clinical validity and applications. Conclusions: Over the past decade, an increasing number of high- and low-fidelity virtual reality systems for bone trauma procedures have been introduced, demonstrating important benefits with regard to improving procedural teaching and learning, preoperative planning and rehearsal, intraoperative precision and efficiency, and postoperative outcomes. However, further technical developments in line with industry benchmarks and metrics are needed in addition to more standardised and rigorous clinical validation.
