Aims

The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for adverse events following the surgical correction of cervical spinal deformities in adults.

Methods

We identified adult patients who underwent corrective cervical spinal surgery between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2015 from the MarketScan database. The baseline comorbidities and characteristics of the operation were recorded. Adverse events were defined as the development of a complication, an unanticipated deleterious postoperative event, or further surgery. Patients aged < 18 years and those with a previous history of tumour or trauma were excluded from the study.

Background

Surgical simulators allow learner-focussed skills training, in controllable and reproducible environments suitable for assessment.

Aim

To research the face validity (extent to which the simulator resembles reality, determined subjectively by subjects), and construct validity, (ability to objectively differentiate between subjects with varying levels of arthroscopic experience) of a virtual reality arthroscopy simulator, to validate its effectiveness as an educational tool.
