Objective:

To present a prototype visual tracking guide template (VTGT) for augmented reality (AR) navigation and assess its initial feasibility for surgical training in pedicle screw placement.

Key Findings:
  • Five junior residents participated, placing 100 K-wires.
  • Average time for each K-wire placement was 36.4 seconds.
  • Average user experience score was 87.8 points.
  • Deviation value of entry point (DVEP) was 2.20 mm ± 0.55 mm.
  • Deviation value of trajectory angle (DVTA) was 2.30° ± 0.78°.
  • All screws met clinical safety requirements according to the Gertzbein-Robbins scale.
Interpretation:

Remove or rephrase to avoid unsupported conclusions.

Limitations:
  • Add any limitations mentioned in the source.
Conclusion:

Revise to reflect only the findings without unsupported claims.
