The results of this study validate the concept behind the visual overlay planning technique-i.e., that thoughtful play promotes understanding of fracture anatomy. These results objectively demonstrate that the use of a Virtual-Fracture-Carving Simulator is feasible, and superior to conventional preoperative planning strategies in terms of quantity and quality of understanding of a spatially complex fracture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
