A Novel Low-Cost Surgical Simulation Tool for Pinning Supracondylar Humerus Fractures

Image

Simulation-based training is one way to improve basic competence for surgical trainees and thus improve patient safety. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of a supracondylar humerus fracture is a common procedure that encompasses many basic orthopaedic skills and has been identified as a residency milestone. Despite this, no quantitative tools exist to help learners attain this basic skill. This study seeks to validate a quantitative, low-cost simulation-based training tool for teaching orthopaedic surgery trainees the fundamentals of fracture stabilization with pins.

A novel, low-cost simulation model and training session for supracondylar humerus fracture pinning resulted in improved performance in stabilizing a supracondylar humerus model and increased trainee knowledge ability, confidence, and skill.
