C\u00f3mo UConn Health y PrecisionOS est\u00e1n capacitando a los residentes de cirug\u00eda ortop\u00e9dica con los auriculares Oculus Quest.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Dr. Augustus Mazzocca, who helps train residents in orthopaedic surgery as the Director of the Musculoskeletal Institute at UConn Health, not every surgeon is a natural. \u201cAs in any profession, some people are not as naturally gifted, so we make up for that by doing volume,\u201d he says. \u201cIf a resident is struggling, we have them do as many cases with variability and obtain as many repetitions in the area that they are weak until they eventually obtain the skill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00faltiples factores han llevado al desarrollo de m\u00e9todos creativos para capacitar quir\u00fargicamente a los residentes ortop\u00e9dicos fuera del quir\u00f3fano real. En UConn Health, los residentes practican sus habilidades con cad\u00e1veres en el Laboratorio de Biokills. Pero los procedimientos de pr\u00e1ctica son costosos y requieren mucho tiempo, y los residentes solo pueden completar ciertos procedimientos en cad\u00e1veres una vez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usar la realidad virtual para permitir una pr\u00e1ctica con prop\u00f3sito.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, the UConn Orthopaedic Department discovered PrecisionOS, a medical software company that offers interactive VR experiences for surgical training in orthopaedics. Founded by Dr. Danny Goel, an orthopaedic surgeon and educator, and Rob Oliveira and Colin O\u2019Connor, two veteran game developers, PrecisionOS offers medical-grade VR training and educational modules that enable surgeons to practice orthopaedic procedures in a safe environment and at a relatively low cost using Oculus Quest headsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Goel says his team wants to make teaching and learning with VR as valuable and real-world as possible in a safe, low-risk environment. \u201cWe\u2019re pushing the boundaries of simulation during the operative experience in virtual reality,\u201d he says. \u201cThe Oculus Quest headset was a game-changer for us. It\u2019s mobile and offers high-quality haptics, six degrees of freedom, and high-fidelity visuals. This allows doctors to get in and get started fast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Mazzocca was skeptical of VR until the moment he put on an Oculus Quest headset. \u201cIt\u2019s insane how quickly your body adjusts \u2014 I couldn\u2019t believe it,\u201d he says. \u201cEasily within a minute, you become part of that environment. And the quality of work in the PrecisionOS system is incredibly similar to the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For UConn Health, VR with PrecisionOS and Oculus Quest headsets represents a breakthrough because it allows residents to engage in purposeful practice \u2014 identifying the skills they need to work on and practicing those skills repeatedly. It also delivers a double-loop learning system that lets residents make mistakes and gives them feedback to incorporate on their next try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe magic part for us is that we can go over an entire case multiple times,\u201d Mazzocca says. \u201cI can connect via computer and see what the residents are seeing \u2014 I become their eyes. I can see how quickly they\u2019re looking at things, what they\u2019re looking at, and how they\u2019re reacting to various situations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When residents are putting a pin in a bone in VR, they can hone their 3D spatial awareness as they learn how to reduce the fracture, position the X-ray to get the appropriate view, and place the pin in the perfect position. \u201cThese are all critical skills they have to learn, perfect, and master so they can proceed with cases in a much more efficient and reproducible way,\u201d Mazzocca says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mantener la formaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica avanzando durante el brote de COVID-19.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unos meses despu\u00e9s de 2020, UConn Health suspendi\u00f3 las cirug\u00edas electivas debido al COVID-19. Si bien esto ha reducido a\u00fan m\u00e1s las oportunidades de capacitaci\u00f3n en la vida real para los residentes, el equipo est\u00e1 agradecido de que los residentes hayan podido mantener sus habilidades y seguir practicando gracias a la realidad virtual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mirando hacia el futuro.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Mazzocca believes VR will have a far-reaching impact on patient outcomes in the field of orthopaedics. \u201cIt makes unbelievable sense that surgeons will soon be able to load CT scans into VR and see where a deformity is in a damaged or diseased joint, see how to reduce a fracture, and find out where problems are going to arise before a case even happens.\u201d He also believes that VR will help improve surgical training in areas of the world that don\u2019t allow the use of cadavers in education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGlobally,\u201d he says, \u201cwe haven\u2019t even scratched the surface of what this technology can do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
