Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. The clinical workflow of arthroscopy typically involves inserting an arthroscope into the joint through a small incision, during which surgeons navigate and operate largely by relying on their visual assessment through the arthroscope. However, the arthroscope's restricted field of view and lack of depth perception pose challenges in navigating complex articular structures and achieving surgical precision during procedures.

Globally, surgical exposure for the trainee has become challenging due to changes in shift patterns, increasing medicolegal issues and the recognition of burnout. Simulation models are a crucial adjunct for the development of arthroscopic skills and open procedures. Advanced anatomically precise 3D-printed wrist models are used in our workshops.

This study introduces a novel technique for arthroscopic surgery of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), developed by the first author. Traditional TMJ arthroscopy techniques typically utilize a reference plane extending from the lateral canthus to the tragus, which may misalign with the zygomatic arch and create technical challenges during percutaneous joint access. The proposed method addresses these limitations by leveraging coronal and sagittal tomographic measurements alongside 3-dimensional reconstructions to determine precise and anatomically appropriate entry points.

Introduction: Our aim is to investigate the face validity and the construct validity of the ArthroSim™ virtual reality shoulder arthroscopy simulator (Touch of Life Technologies, Inc., Aurora, Colorado).
Materials And Methods: Fifteen doctors participated, with five from each of the following levels: novice with no arthroscopies performed, intermediate with less than 50 arthroscopies performed, and expert with over 100 arthroscopies performed.

Background: Despite the clinical benefits over nonoperative treatment or meniscectomy, the clinical outcomes of surgical repair for medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMRT) remain suboptimal, which may be attributed to the insufficient restoration of meniscal hoop tension during surgery.
Purpose: To analyze the clinical outcomes of surgical repair of MMRT based on the appearance of the meniscal tension observed immediately after surgery.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
