The model is currently being integrated into the simulation curriculum at 2 integrated plastic surgery residency programs for training in percutaneous wire fixation of hand fractures. RESULTS: A realistic and durable 3D model with interchangeable bones allows trainees to practice the key motor skills necessary for successful fixation of hand and wrist fractures with K-wires in a home-based setting. It has been demonstrated that practicing prior to surgical interventions "enable[s] the trainee to maximize learning episodes and trainers more likely to delegate surgical training." 3 Given limited simulation tools for hand fracture fixation and the absence of commercially available 3D hands that replicate the tactile feel of bone and soft tissue, we focused on developing an affordable and durable model for resident training.	./cache/cord-273021-9t66ygoj.txt	./txt/cord-273021-9t66ygoj.txt
