Virtual Reality Training for Hip Socket Screw Placement
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an orthopedic resident in training years 1–4 (PGY 1-4)
- You are currently enrolled in the orthopedic residency program at Vajira Hospital in Bangkok
- You have never had virtual reality training for pelvic bone fixation procedures before
- You have performed antegrade anterior column screw placement 5 times or fewer
- You can complete all study procedures without major barriers

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.
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 study tests whether using virtual reality during your hip replacement surgery can help reduce anxiety while you are awake and prevent confusion after surgery. It is designed for older adults having hip replacement with spinal or epidural anesthesia.
