Skills training and simulation play an increasingly important role in orthopaedic surgical education. The intent of simulation is to improve performance in the operating room (OR), a trait known as transfer validity. No prior studies have explored how simulator-based wire navigation training can transfer to higher-level tasks. Additionally, there is a lack of knowledge on the format in which wire navigation training should be deployed.
