3D Resin Printed Fracture Models for Anatomy Education

Официальное название

Can High Resolution 3D Resin Printed Models be Used in Clinical Anatomy Education for Fracture Rehabilitation

Обзор

Resin printing is an emerging technology with a wide array of applications. This research seeks to assess the practicality of incorporating 3D resin printed models into anatomy education while investigating how fractured models impact students' decision-making and quiz scores.

Подробное описание

Over the past decade, 3D printing has become increasingly accessible and cost-effective, offering systems and materials suitable for home use. 3D printing is a technology that streamlines production by translating computer-generated models into physical objects, layer by layer. In comparison to other tissue engineering and rapid prototyping methods, 3D printing boasts numerous advantages, such as exceptional precision, rapid production, cost-effectiveness, and seamless integration. Utilizing 3D models can significantly enhance the comprehension of intricate structures for medical professionals and students alike. Common materials used in 3D printing include robust nylon, aluminum, gypsum, textile components, polylactic acid, and resin. Among these, photosensitive resin stands out, as it enables the creation of higher-quality, more intricate structures that closely resemble real tissues, offering a smoother finish devoid of visible raw material textures.

This study's primary objective was to assess the suitability of tissues produced by a 3D resin printer in anatomy education, with the aim of enhancing hands-on training through direct manipulation of fractured bone models.

Вмешательства

• Другое Clinical Anatomical Education with Fractured Bone Models
  Participants will undergo a 2-hour training session, consisting of 60 minutes of theory and 60 minutes of practice. The theoretical lesson, supported by 2D images illustrating wrist anatomy, types of fractures, and rehabilitation based on fracture type, will be simultaneously delivered to both groups. Following this, the practical group will receive a 60-minute hands-on session using 3D-printed digital models of radius and ulna fractures. These training sessions will be scheduled in the morning
