In this paper, we present a shoulder arthroscopy training system with force feedback ThePrst problem faced by thefuture surgeon is triangulation '. Mastering this technique requires considerable practice and eye-hand coordination. The simulator allows the user to visualize with a high degree of fidelity the shoulder joint and to handle the instrumental as it would occur in the operating theatre. Additionally, it offers the possibility of having a panoramic view to orientate the apprentice in the first learning phases.
