    Orthopedic surgeons can create inexpensive polyurethane bone models for surgical training. This method allows for practicing new techniques and teaching skills effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Medical Education
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Surgical anatomy education is crucial for orthopedic training.
    • Developing effective methods for teaching surgical skills is an ongoing need.
    • Access to realistic anatomical models aids surgical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a cost-effective and rapid method for fabricating polyurethane bone models.
    • To highlight the utility of these models in orthopedic surgical training.
    • To compare in-house fabrication with commercial availability.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of polyurethane bone models by in-house staff.
    • Utilizing these models for surgical technique experimentation.
    • Employing the models as teaching tools for surgical skills.

    Main Results:

    • In-house fabrication of polyurethane bones is simple, inexpensive, and rapid.
    • These custom models enhance the learning experience for orthopedic surgeons.
    • Staff-made models are more cost-effective and instructive than commercial options.

    Conclusions:

    • Polyurethane bone fabrication by staff offers a valuable resource for orthopedic training programs.
    • This approach supports both the learning of new surgical techniques and the teaching of essential skills.
    • In-house production provides a superior educational and economic alternative to commercial polyurethane bones.
