Mastering DHS is an initial prototype for
virtual training of Junior surgeons for the DHS (Dynamic Hip Screw) surgery.
It aims at improving the Hand-eyes-Brain coordination by providing a computerised training system, constructed from affordable Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COT) componenets.
This work is in collaboration with Prof. Maqsood, Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic surgeon in the Lincoln Hospital.
