To explore a novel 3D printed model for training in trauma and orthopaedics, particularly for managing paediatric elbow fractures.
Developed a high-fidelity 3D printed model with radiopaque and radiolucent materials for training.
Conducted a proof-of-concept study with 19 orthopaedic trainees.
Utilized the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills for assessment during simulation training.
Positive feedback on the model's usefulness in simulation training.
Average improvement in self-confidence of 1.15 for performing K-wiring post-simulation.
