Development of a 3D printed simulator for closed reduction of distal radius fractures

BACKGROUND: The use of simulators in medical education is critical for developing procedural competence prior to treating patients. Current training of emergency physicians to perform distal radius fracture reduction is inconsistent and inadequate. APPROACH: We developed a 3D printed distal radius f...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: The use of simulators in medical education is critical for developing procedural competence prior to treating patients. Current training of emergency physicians to perform distal radius fracture reduction is inconsistent and inadequate. APPROACH: We developed a 3D printed distal radius fracture simulation training model that is easy to assemble and relatively inexpensive. We present step-by-step instructions to reproduce the model. EVALUATION: The model was found to have high fidelity for training by both instructors and participants in a simulation-based mastery learning course. REFLECTION: We successfully designed a low cost, easy to reproduce, high fidelity model for use in a simulation-based mastery learning course to teach distal radius fracture reduction. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL: The online version of this article (10.1007/s40037-020-00609-w) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
