Research abstract
Deployed surgeons spend long periods of time isolated from their normal practice. This adds the difficulty of maintaining their specialized skills to the long list of hardships and further complicates their return. ToLTech proposes to combine the considerable wealth of electronic resources that the AAOS has to offer with web-based virtual surgeries to produce a compelling skills development and retention program accessible anywhere in the world. While this effort will focus on maintenance of orthopaedic surgical skills, the basic technologies to be developed and demonstrated during this effort will be applicable to all surgical specialties.
