ABSTRACT

Introduction: The development of orthopedic surgery has led to a constant production of new implants. Simulation is a key tool in the use of new implants in orthopedic surgery. Objective: To describe in detail the ideal transfer process from the new implant instructions "brochure" to direct application to a patient through a "boot camp". Material and methods: A work modality are proposed for the reception of new orthopedic and trauma implants based on the "boot camp" modality. The objective is to carry out a process of theoretical analysis of the implant, leading to simulation in artificial bones and joints, and finally, to the cadaveric laboratory practice. Results: A pilot experience of this work modality is described in relation to a real clinical case for the application of a new implant for proximal humerus fractures called AFFIXUS^® Natural Nail^® from the company BIOMET^®. Conclusions: This "boot camp" is a safe way to obtain specific technical skills of orthopedic surgery, without putting surgeons or patients at risk. The fact of establishing a structured system for the evaluation of new implants in orthopedics and traumatology is novel.
