Brief Summary

Resin printing is an emerging technology with a wide array of applications. This research seeks to assess the practicality of incorporating 3D resin printed models into anatomy education while investigating how fractured models impact students' decision-making and quiz scores.

Educational Problems; Anatomical Pathological Condition

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Clinical Test

  A 25-question multiple choice questions test will be employed to assess students' anatomical knowledge and their decision-making capabilities for the rehabilitation program. The test will be prepared according to Bloom's taxonomy and will consist of both multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Total test time wil lbe 60 minutes and scores will be recorded as percentages.

  one hour

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Academic Motivation

  one hour

• Test Anxiety Inventory

• Enjoyment and Ease of Use Assessment

  one hour

Study Arms (2)

Fractured Model Group

OTHER

All participants will receive 60 minutes training on anatomy and pathophysiology of theoric wrist fractures. After lecture completed, the Fractured Model Group will engage in a 2-hours hands-on practical session in the laboratory, working with wrist fracture models.

Other: Clinical Anatomical Education with Fractured Bone Models

Standard Anatomic Model Group

OTHER

All participants will receive 60 minutes training on anatomy and pathophysiology of theoric wrist fractures.After lecture completed, the Standard Anatomic Model Group will engage in a 2-hours hands-on practical session in the laboratory, working with standard anatomical wrist models.

Other: Clinical Anatomical Education with Standard Bone Models

Interventions

Clinical Anatomical Education with Fractured Bone Models OTHER

Participants will undergo a 2-hour training session, consisting of 60 minutes of theory and 60 minutes of practice. The theoretical lesson, supported by 2D images illustrating wrist anatomy, types of fractures, and rehabilitation based on fracture type, will be simultaneously delivered to both groups. Following this, the practical group will receive a 60-minute hands-on session using 3D-printed digital models of radius and ulna fractures. These training sessions will be scheduled in the morning hours, on a day when students have no other classes between 9 am and 12 pm, to minimize mental fatigue and exhaustion. In the practical session, anatomical structures, their relationships, and arrangements will be demonstrated to the practice group using a model of a fractured wrist.

The control group will receive the same practical session using a standard anatomical model.
