Model for teaching closed reduction and pinning of a pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture

Project Overview

Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fracture seen in children, most of which require surgical intervention via closed or open reduction with percutaneous insertion of pins. The injury can be associated with neurovascular injury and as a result, is often done as an urgent or emergent procedure, many times overnight. In such a setting, experience in the procedure is vital to safe and efficient surgical intervention. This project aims to build a pediatric supracondylar humerus model to provide simulated practice on the closed reduction and pinning of the fracture and evaluate whether this can improve a resident's ability to perform the procedure.
