The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if patient specific virtual reality (VR) simulations can be used for surgical orthopaedic education in resident and fellow physician populations.
Any resident of fellow physician enrolled in the participating site's spine surgery training program.
None.
Single group
Patient Specific Virtual Reality Stimulation
DeviceA novel virtual reality (VR) simulator for spine procedures that will take patient specific medical imaging (3D scans) and create a virtual patient that surgical procedures can be performed on.
Evaluate the effectiveness of patient specific VR surgical simulations for orthopaedic education, focusing on spinal decompression with or without instrumentation.
Participants will complete study questionnaires before and after the testing sessions that ask them to list relevant structures involved in spinal decompression surgery. Participants will rate their confidence and motivation using the VR tool on a scale of 1 (highly confidence) to 10 (low confidence).
Create a highly automated image analysis pipeline for the creation of patient specific 3D spine models with sufficient fidelity for surgical simulation.
The performance of the pipeline will be measured by the total registration error, quantifying overlap of segmentation of structures, and the distance between landmarks.
Perceived utility of high-fidelity simulation of surgical spine procedures that make use of patient specific models.
Orthopaedic residents and fellows will test the tool, following, they will fill out a questionnaire about the utility of the tool for learning and surgical planning. Participants will report their agreeableness to statements about the utility on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), and provide their own comments.
