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
