Clinical Trial: VR Training Improves PGY-1 Surgical Performance

Cadaver THA Performance

+18 pts
gain in cadaver THA score vs control (P = 0.048)

Both cohorts began at similar baselines. After training, the VR cohort’s cadaver THA performance improved significantly, including a significant gain in technical performance (P = 0.009).
