Abstract

The Metaverse is 'an integrated network of 3D virtual worlds.' It incorporates digitally created realities into the real world, involves virtual copies of existing places and changes the physical reality by superimposing digital aspects, allowing its users to interact with these elements in an immersive, real-time experience. The applications of the Metaverse are numerous, with an increasing number of experiences in the field of musculoskeletal disease management. In the field of medical training, the Metaverse can help facilitate the learning experience and help develop complex clinical skills. In clinical care, the Metaverse can help clinicians perform orthopedic surgery more accurately and safely and can improve pain management, the performance of rehabilitation techniques and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Virtualization can also optimize aspects of healthcare information and management, increasing the effectiveness of procedures and the functioning of organizations. This optimization can be especially relevant in departments that are under significant care provider pressure. However, we must not lose sight of the fundamental challenges that still need to be solved, such as ensuring patient privacy and fairness. Several studies are underway to assess the feasibility and safety of the Metaverse.

应用于肌肉骨骼病理学:正位体和复位体。
虚拟世界是一个由3D虚拟世界组成的综合网络。它将数字创造的现实融入现实世界,包括现有场所的虚拟副本,并通过叠加数字方面来改变物理现实,允许用户以身临其境的实时体验与这些元素交互。Metaverse的应用是众多的,在肌肉骨骼疾病管理领域的经验越来越多。在医学培训领域,虚拟世界可以帮助促进学习经验,并帮助发展复杂的临床技能。在临床护理中,Metaverse可以帮助临床医生更准确、更安全地进行骨科手术,并可以改善疼痛管理、康复技术的表现和促进健康的生活方式。虚拟化还可以优化医疗保健信息和管理的各个方面,提高流程的有效性和组织的功能。这种优化尤其适用于那些承受着巨大护理人员压力的部门。然而,我们不能忽视仍然需要解决的根本挑战,例如确保患者的隐私和公平。一些研究正在进行中,以评估虚拟世界的可行性和安全性。

期刊介绍: Postgraduate Medicine is a rapid peer-reviewed medical journal published for physicians. Tracing its roots back to 1916,  Postgraduate Medicine  was established by Charles Mayo, MD, as a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid physicians when making treatment decisions, and it maintains that aim to this day. In addition to its core subscriber base, Postgraduate Medicine is distributed to hundreds of US-based physicians within internal medicine and family practice.
