Virtual Reality-Based Simulation Training for Antegrade Anterior Column Acetabular Screw Placement in Orthopedic Residents
Thailand20 participantsStarted 2026-01-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this study is to find out if virtual reality (VR) training helps orthopedic residents improve their skills in placing screws in the pelvic bone. The study will also compare VR training with standard training to see which method is more effective and easier to use.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does VR training improve performance compared to standard training? Does VR training help reduce procedure time and X-ray use? Do participants prefer VR training? Researchers will compare VR training with standard training using a crossover design, where all participants receive both types of training.
Participants will:
Take part in both VR and standard training sessions Practice the procedure on a bone model Be evaluated by experts on their performance Complete a satisfaction questionnaire

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
