Effect of mental practice on surgical trainees’ ability to describe an ulnar shortening osteotomy after video observation: An experimental study
Mental practice significantly enhanced procedural understanding and performance compared to repeated passive video observation. These findings support the integration of structured mental rehearsal into surgical training, particularly when access to hands-on practice is limited.
