Virtual Environments offer considerable potential to improve training for arthroscopic surgery. However, current systems are developed for individual joints, which requires healthcare providers to purchase and maintain multiple environments with differing interfaces and capabilities. This paper describes a generic arthroscopy system architecture that allows the fast development of training environments for any joint, each sharing a common user-interface. The use of the architecture in developing a simple ankle simulator is also described.

虚拟环境为改进关节镜手术训练提供了巨大潜力。然而，当前系统是针对单个关节开发的，这要求医疗保健提供者购买并维护多个具有不同界面和功能的环境。本文描述了一种通用的关节镜系统架构，该架构能够快速开发适用于任何关节的训练环境，且每个环境都共享一个通用用户界面。本文还介绍了该架构在开发一个简单的踝关节模拟器中的应用。
