The orthopedic procedures training simulator (100) is a mannequin (102)
having an internal skeletal structure (104) for simulating orthopedic
injuries. The interior skeletal structure (104) includes a plurality of
skeletal structures, each movable between a first position simulating
normal and healthy skeletal structure and a second position simulating an
orthopedic injury. Motor tensionable cables joining larger joint
structures allow for simulating muscular tension affecting the ability to
reduce a dislocation of the joint. Force and positional sensors are
disposed within the skeletal structures, and provide information to a
computer system (700) to perform and monitor simulation. A computer
program reads the sensors, and controls the motor tensionable cables to
simulate orthopedic injuries and responses to applied corrective
procedures and medications. The program generates pre-procedural x-ray
images based on a desired simulation, and post-procedural x-ray images
based on information obtained from the sensors both during and after the
performance of a procedure.
