We have built a virtual reality training system for placement of the incisions, with which the novice can touch and feel surface anatomy in order to train, as much as desire, adequate location and orientation angle for portal performance. We present an innovative simulator for Minimal Invasive Surgery that pretends to solve the lack of most simulators, in which simulation starts with predefined entry points, making possible to train this particular skill, so critical in arthroscopic procedures.Virtual reality training system for portal selection in shoulder arthroscopy
