Teaching the Basics: Development and Validation of a Distal Radius Reduction and Casting Model.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first distal radius fracture reduction model to incorporate an elbow and shoulder and allow quantitative assessment of the fracture reduction. This simulator may be useful in an orthopaedic resident training program to help them reach a defined minimum level of competency. This simulator also could easily be integrated in other accreditation and training programs, including emergency medicine.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, therapeutic study.
