Arthroscopic Shoulder Simulation May Improve Short-Term Speed, Accuracy, and Efficiency of Surgical Movements in Orthopaedic Residents and Fellows: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To systematically review the effectiveness and validity of orthopaedic surgery training using simulation technologies including augmented reality, virtual reality, and/or mixed reality within arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Methods: A literature search was conducted of the EMBASE and PubMed databases from inception to January 2024 per the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Included studies described arthroscopic shoulder surgery simulation training among orthopaedic surgery trainees.
