Gadgets, Games and Gizmos: Learn About Knee Surgery

Posted by Karl Kapp on February 16, 2007

Ever wonder how they perform knee or hip surgery, find out for yourself at EdHeads. Actually, you get to perform the surgery with a little guidance. You are patiently provided instruction on how to mark the leg, clean the area, make the incision and repair the damage. Even though the surgery was 2D, I still got a little sqeamish.

The site also has a virtual hip replacement surgery simulation as well as other interesting educational games. Compare the interaction of these educational modules with what you are designing. Remember, these are for kids…but they allow for application, problem-solving and interactivity.
