Abstract
Objectives: To compare objective costs between an in-house developed arthroscopy simulator and commercially available options. Design: Cost analysis. Setting: Orthopaedic graduate medical education. Patients/Participants: Eight board-certified orthopaedic surgeons and nineteen novice learners. Intervention: Simulation Training. Main outcome measurement: Cost difference between an in-house developed simulator and a commercially available simulator. Results and conclusions: Significant price differences exist between in-house simulator production cost and commercially available simulators. Low-cost, in-house simulators improve access to arthroscopic simulation training for novice learners by reducing up front cost by 29% and reducing recurring costs by over 90% when compared to a similar commercially available option. Level of Evidence: IV; Cost Analysis Keywords: Education; Simulation; Orthopaedics; Arthroscopy; Simulation Based Learning Theory (J Ortho Business Jan 2022;2(1):7-9)
