PrecisionOS is redefining orthopedic training through personalized, data-driven, and accessible VR-based surgical education. The new Fracture Lab platform helps surgeons build critical skills, gain adaptive feedback, and achieve mastery anywhere in the world—making lifelong surgical learning more equitable and measurable than ever before.

The future of surgical education is immersive and measurable with Virtual Grand Rounds. Learn how residents gain hands-on virtual practice, guided by global experts, aligned with ACGME/ABOS standards.

Virtual Cadaver Lab transforms surgical training by letting residents watch, practice, and perform procedures in immersive VR. Step into a new era of hands-on, accessible surgical education.

Immersive virtual cadaver labs are redefining surgical education—enabling global access to hands-on innovation, active learning, and real-world digital practice for surgeons and trainees.

Arthroscopy during residency is one of the steepest learning curves in orthopedic surgery. The technical challenges include mastering the use of angled lenses, interpreting 3D structures on a 2D screen, and handling instruments with precision. Traditional hands-on training with cadaver labs is time-consuming and often limited. Many residents experience slow and unpredictable progress due to intermittent opportunities to practice in the operating room. Virtual reality simulation offers a breakthrough by providing a safe, repeatable learning environment where residents can build skills and confidence efficiently—without the need for costly equipment or cadaver availability.

The IMPACT Initiative unites residency programs, educators, and technology partners to transform orthopedic surgical training. By integrating virtual reality, data-driven insights, and collaboration, IMPACT ensures residents gain structured practice, faculty mentorship is optimized, and patient care outcomes improve.

Dr. Lohre never set out to be exceptional. He just wanted to be ready. When he began his residency in
orthopedic surgery, he quickly realized that the operating room (OR) wasn’t just where cases were
done—it was where careers were made. While others may have leaned on research papers or academic
accolades, Dr. Lohre focused on something more foundational: preparation.
