Virtual reality training for hip fracture surgery in doctors
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two-on-one versus one-on-one virtual reality training for medical students learning to operate on hip fractures. It aims to see if having two instructors for every student is more effective than the usual one-on-one approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a first- or second-year resident doctor (PGY 1 or 2) working in an orthopedics department.
- You have performed no more than 10 hip fracture surgeries as the main surgeon.
- You are able to complete the training and follow-up within 4 months.

This study tests whether practicing hip socket screw placement in virtual reality helps orthopedic residents learn the procedure better. You would use a VR simulator to practice before doing the actual surgery with supervision.
This trial tests a virtual reality tool that helps doctors practice spine procedures. It may improve their skills and patient safety.
This study compares learning a specific nerve block (for the hip/upper thigh) using a self-guided virtual reality headset versus a traditional mannequin. It is for doctors and trainees at The Ottawa Hospital who want to improve their ultrasound skills for this procedure.
This trial tests if training with virtual reality helps surgical residents learn thyroid surgery better. It compares VR training to standard methods for residents who have finished their first year of training.
This study compares two ways to teach nursing students and operating room nurses how to set up the instrument table for hip replacement surgery. One method uses a digital game, and the other uses traditional training, to see which is more effective and engaging.
This study compares two ways for trainee anaesthetists to learn about regional anaesthesia (numbing specific body areas for surgery): using virtual reality (VR) versus a traditional teaching method. If you are a trainee anaesthetist, this could help improve how future doctors are trained.
