Testing Basic Competency in Knee Arthroscopy Using a Virtual Reality Simulator: Exploring Validity and Reliability

Conclusions: By combining four procedures on a virtual reality arthroscopy simulator, it was possible to create a valid, reliable, and feasible test of basic arthroscopic competency and to establish a credible pass-or-fail standard. Clinical Relevance: The simulation-based test and pass-or-fail standard could aid in assessing and ensuring basic competency of future orthopaedic residents before proceeding to supervised procedures in patients.
