Background: The purpose of this study was to assess impingement-free internal rotation (IR) in a virtual reverse shoulder arthroplasty simulation using a Statistical Shape Model based on scapula size.
Methods: A database of over 10,000 scapulae utilized for preoperative planning for shoulder arthroplasty was analyzed with a Statistical Shape Model to obtain 5 scapula sizes including the mean and 2 standard deviations. For each scapula model, one glenosphere size (33-42 mm) was selected as the best fit based on consensus among 3 shoulder surgeons.

Objective: Although the operating theatre offers unique didactic opportunities, it can be perceived as an uncomfortable environment by medical students due to the lack of theatre etiquette, time pressure and parallel work of different disciplines. We investigated whether virtual reality (VR) training can significantly reduce some of these fears and improve surgical education for medical students.
Methods: We randomly divided a group of 24 medical students and investigated the effects of a VR application (digitally recreated operating theatre tour) and compared it with currently-in-use written instructions for operational tasks in the operating theatre.
