Introducing 3D printed models of fractures in osteology learning improves clinical reasoning skills among first-year medical students: a pilot study
Incorporating 3D-printed models of fractures was a novel approach to help students comprehend the clinical correlations. This strategy improved students' clinical reasoning skills in the intervention group, as evidenced by their higher scores and feedback. Therefore, 3D-printed models are a valuable addition to the traditional teaching methods of learning osteology.
