Summary

"Recently, virtual reality has become more accessible thanks to the use of smaller, more comfortable and easier-to-use devices. Its use in operating theatres is growing. However, despite the clinical effectiveness of virtual reality in reducing pain and anxiety, there are very few feedback studies from patients on their experience of surgery and their satisfaction, especially in orthopaedics. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the superiority, during long awake orthopaedic surgery, of equipping the patient with a virtual reality headset, on patient satisfaction, compared with the same surgery without a headset. The visual support offered will be appropriate to the duration of the surgery, i.e. more than 1 hour."
