Résumé

Simulation workshops for surgical training of residents are becoming popular. The gold standard for teaching thoracolumbar pedicle screw placement are cadaver labs; however, the availability of human bodies is limited. The primary objective of this study was to determine if training on a synthetic bone model improves the apprenticeship of accurate pedicle screw placement. The secondary objective was to check the influence of residents' previous experience in spine surgery.
