Arthroscopic Simulation in Skills Training: European Initiatives

Arthroscopic surgery has become the leading operative therapy for a growing number of injuries. Obtaining arthroscopic skills is quite. That is why learning arthroscopic skills takes considerable time and implicates an increased risk of surgical errors during the early stages of the learning curve when operating on patients. As patient safety and competence in surgery are of utmost importance to fulfil requirements of high-quality healthcare, there is a need for efficient and effective training. We present the current state-of-the-art in arthroscopic training.
