“…Three types of procedural simulators were used: five dry synthetic radius bones without any component of soft tissues (radius ERP # 1018 Ò , Sawbones TM , Washon Island, WA, USA) ( Figure 1(a)), five 3D impression simulators (Wristsim Ò , Biomodex TM , Paris, France), and ten freshly thawed human cadaveric forearms. Wristsim Ò , derived from 3D printer technology (Figure 1(b)-(d)), consisted of a silicone forearm/wrist/hand segment with an orifice where a cartridge of a distal radius and soft tissue simulator is attached (Lazarus et al, 2017).…”

In order to facilitate the learning of distal radius shortening osteotomy by junior surgeons, the main assumption was that using a three-dimensional procedural simulator was better than a bone procedural simulator. After viewing a video, ten junior surgeons performed a distal radius shortening osteotomy: five with a bone procedural simulator (Group 1) and five with a three-dimensional procedural simulator (Group 2). All subsequently performed the same surgery on fresh cadaveric bones. The duration of the procedure, shortening of the radius, and the level of osteotomy were significantly better in Group 2. The three-dimensional procedural simulator seems to teach distal radius osteotomy better than a bone model and could be useful in teaching and learning bone surgery of the wrist.

“…Two reports from the same study group presented a synthetic wrist procedural simulator (Wristsim®, Biomo-dex™, Paris, France) based on 3D printing technology. They were able to highlight its potential use in training of volar plating in distal radius fractures and distal radius shortening osteotomy but also recognized its inferiority to cadaver specimen training [10,11].…”

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is spreading in hand surgery. There is an increasing number of practical applications like the training of junior hand surgeons, patient education, preoperative planning, and 3D printing of customized casts, customized surgical guides, implants, and prostheses. Some high-quality studies highlight the value for surgeons, but there is still a lack of high-level evidence for improved clinical endpoints and hence actual impact on the patient’s outcome. This article provides an overview over the latest applications of 3D printing in hand surgery and practical experience of implementing them into daily clinical routine.

“…Only 21 studies stated that the simulators that they described were commercially available to buy in the form of the simulator or raw materials for the more basic simulators. [13][14][15][16][17]21,22,28,33,42,44,46,50,52,[54][55][56]62,63,65,73 The remaining studies described simulators that were either made by the author or were in the research stage of development.…”

This review aimed to explore the published evidence with regard to the types and composition of both full-and part-task trainers to teach surgeons extremity exploration procedures in limb trauma management. Studies were included if they reported the development and/or validation of synthetic or virtual task trainers. Studies were evaluated to determine their derivation, usability, and clinical utility. A total of 638 citations were identified and 63 satisfied the inclusion criteria. Twenty-five articles addressed simulator validation and 36 addressed level of learning achieved with simulator engagement. Two studies described a dedicated limb simulator. Simulators were developed to repair limb structures including skin (n = 15), tendon (n = 7), nerve (n = 1), fascia (n = 1), muscle (n = 1), vascular (n = 24), and bone (n = 11). Considerations such as material fidelity, learning outcomes, cost or reusability, validity, and effectiveness are inconsistently reported. Future studies should address design standards for the effective production of synthetic or virtual simulators for limb trauma management.
