Abstract

Introduction

Simulation-based learning has emerged as a transformative tool in orthopaedic education, significantly improving surgical training and patient safety. This systematic review examines the role of simulation in enhancing technical skills, decision-making, and clinical competence among orthopaedic trainees.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted to assess the effectiveness of simulation-based training in orthopaedics. Various simulation modalities, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), haptic feedback systems, and task-based trainers, were analyzed for their impact on skill acquisition and retention. The study was registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD420250652679).

Results

Key findings suggest that simulation-based training leads to reduced surgical errors, faster learning curves, and better skill retention. However, challenges such as high costs, limited access to advanced simulation tools, and difficulties in integrating these technologies into traditional curricula persist.

Conclusion

Simulation is expected to play a crucial role in modernizing orthopaedic education by providing safe, repeatable practice opportunities. Future directions include AI-driven training modules and collaborative VR platforms to further enhance training efficacy and patient outcomes.

期刊介绍： Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
