Three-dimensional (3D) printed models significantly improved ophthalmology trainees' understanding of orbital fractures and surgical planning. This innovative approach enhances education in complex cases where hands-on practice is limited.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Education
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an underutilized technology in ophthalmology training.
  • Complex educational scenarios require novel teaching tools for orbital fracture repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel approach to trainee education of orbital fracture repair.
  • To evaluate the utility of 3D printed models as a teaching tool in ophthalmology.

Main Methods:

  • Ophthalmology residents and fellows used 3D printed models alongside CT imaging for orbital fracture training.
  • Participants analyzed fractures and completed questionnaires assessing understanding and the educational session's impact.

  • A statistically significant improvement in confidence was observed for fracture conceptualization and surgical planning with 3D models.
  • High participant agreement (84.3%-94.8%) indicated the models' usefulness for surgical planning, anatomical understanding, and overall training.

    • Conclusions:

    • 3D printed orbital fracture models are effective tools for ophthalmology trainee education.
    • These models enhance understanding and visualization of complex anatomy and pathology.
    • 3D models offer an accessible method to supplement limited hands-on orbital fracture practice opportunities.
