“…Three-dimensional printed surgical simulators can provide visualized and tactile surgical training for procedures such as orbital surgery and keratoplasty. Notably, training with fracture models has been shown to enhance performance during operations and improve patient-reported functional outcomes [46]. A study by Famery et al examined the performance of surgeons on Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) using a 3D printed platform.…”

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a process in which materials are added together in a layer-by-layer manner to construct customized products. Many different techniques of 3D printing exist, which vary in materials used, cost, advantages, and drawbacks. Medicine is increasingly benefiting from this transformative technology, and the field of ophthalmology is no exception. The possible 3D printing applications in eyecare are vast and have been explored in the literature, such as 3D-printed ocular prosthetics, orbital implants, educational and anatomical models, as well as surgical planning and training. Novel drug-delivery platforms have also emerged because of 3D printing, offering improved treatment modalities for several ocular pathologies. Innovative research in 3D bioprinting of viable tissues, including the cornea, retina, and conjunctiva, is presenting an avenue for regenerative ophthalmic therapies in the future. Although further development in printing capabilities and suitable materials is required, 3D printing represents a powerful tool for enhancing eye health.

This study aimed to explore the role of the three-dimension (3D) printed models in orthopedic resident training of tibial plateau fractures. A total of 41 residents from our institution were divided into two groups. The intervention group, consisting of 20 residents, had access to 3D-printed models illustrating thirteen tibial plateau fractures. In contrast, the control group, comprising 21 residents, received digital images of thirteen identical tibial plateau fractures. Evaluation of learning outcomes included the accurate identification of tibial plateau fracture patterns, deduction of traumatic mechanisms, preoperative plan, assessment time, and subjective questionnaire responses. The participants with 3D printed models scored significantly higher in both the Schatzker classification and Luo three-column classification compared to those without 3D printed models. Residents in the intervention group performed better in accuracy in deducing traumatic mechanisms compared to the control group. In addition, the sum score of preoperative plan in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Specifically, participants with 3D printed models scored higher in surgical approach choice and implants placement than these in the control group. Residents exposed to 3D printed models also spent less time to complete the assessment than those with access only to digital imaging. Subjective assessments indicated that 3D-printed models boosted confidence in fracture identification, improved preoperative plan for fracture management and enhanced the understanding in injury mechanism of tibial plateau fractures. Furthermore, residents agreed that the use of 3D-printed models heightened their interest in learning tibial plateau fractures. Therefore, the addition of 3D printed models significantly contributed to a comprehensive understanding of tibial plateau fractures, the improvement in fracture identification, inferring injury mechanisms and preoperative plan.
