ArthroTrainer

Simply the best

Why are we different?

ArthroTrainer is the only structured and scientifically proven training program in arthroscopy technique. More than half a thousand students from all over the world have allowed us to define a unique methodology that will allow you to handle arthroscopic surgery with total naturalness.

Learning arthroscopy without an arthroscope is like learning piano without having one.

Learning any manual technique is based on repetition. Performing arthroscopic gestures in a slow, simple and organized manner allows the dynamics of arthroscopy to be improved. Subsequently, the complexity is progressively increased by simulating different vision and work portals with different levels of operational and temporal difficulty.

Basic skills

The first gestures of arthroscopy are apparently simple, but it is a point where the most errors accumulate. A correct field of vision, camera orientation and triangulation are essential before considering gestures such as knots or object manipulation.

Practical maneuvers

The movement of objects in a two-dimensional plane, subsequently in a three-dimensional plane and finally their manipulation, require precise control of both the camera and the arthroscopic forceps. Making figures by controlling the tension of elastics and practicing arthroscopic sutures are other arthroscopic gestures that you will learn to master using the ArthroTrainer methodology.

Arthroscopic approaches

Combining gestures and movements with different configurations of arthroscopic approaches requires advanced joint space control. Using the ArthroTrainer design, you will be able to simulate all arthroscopic work scenarios, and a large number of movements and sutures in scenarios very similar to real surgery.

The most versatile, realistic and scientifically evaluated arthroscopy learning programm

ArthroTrainer is not a simulator, but a complete training program. It is the only simulation system that defines operational objectives and times in which to perform each exercise so that the difficulty of each proposed exercise increases progressively from the first to the last. The simulator is only the physical element on which to develop a complete, evaluated and validated training plan that will allow you to take your level of arthroscopy to the next level.

Time and Handicap

The ArthroTrainer training program controls the difficulty level of each exercise by defining a manual goal and a time in which to achieve it. Any exercise in the program could be done the first time by anyone, as long as they have enough time. To achieve the proposed objectives within the defined time, it is necessary for the user to acquire correct arthroscopic skills. Therefore, although the first times the exercises are performed they may seem impossible, they are not. The first time you practice each exercise, you cannot do it in the proposed time, because you have not acquired the necessary skills to overcome it. When the positioning of the camera, the viewing area and the movements performed are correct, the exercise is performed in the proposed time.

Play it again, Sam

Learning any technique or skill requires repeating a gesture or maneuver until achieving automatism. The ArthroTrainer program has defined operational and time objectives for each exercise so that the number of repetitions necessary to achieve them is similar for all exercises. Thanks to its design, each student has their own ArthroTrainer, so they can practice the exercise as many times as necessary at their own pace, at home, until every gesture, every knot and every arthroscopic maneuver is automated. It is common not to be able to complete an exercise in the same day. Manual skills continue to be processed in the brain even after you have stopped practicing. That is why it is important to practice, rest and return the next day, so that our brain automates, little by little, the fundamental gestures of arthroscopy until they become simple and natural.
