Abstract
Study design: Face and content validation of a surgical simulation model.
Objective: Open reduction and internal fixation in displaced subcondylar mandibular fractures is standard care. This requires an extraoral (eg: retromandibular, transparotideal) or intraoral approach. An intraoral approach requires further training since specialized instrumentation such as the 90° screwdriver system and endoscopes might be needed. Currently, no simulation models are available for training residents in intraoral reduction and fixation of subcondylar mandibular fractures. Therefore, we present a validated simulation model for intraoral treatment of subcondylar mandibular fractures.
Methods: Based on a computer tomography data set, we designed and printed a 3D model of a mandible with a unilateral subcondylar fracture. To simulate intraoral work depth, it was positioned inside a dental phantom. We tested the model by a group of experts (n = 8), simulating intraoral reduction and fixation of a unilateral subcondylar fracture, using a 90° screwdriver system, a 1.0 subcondylar plate (lambda), and 5-6 mm screws.We assessed Face and Content validity by survey.
Results: We provided an open-source printable fracture model. Printing costs were approximately US $10. Experts "Agreed" the model resembling the real scenario and its use for training intraoral reduction and fixation of subcondylar mandibular fractures.
Conclusions: We developed a low cost, reproducible, open-source simulator for subcondylar mandibular fractures. Face and Content validity was achieved through evaluation by a group of experts.
期刊介绍:
Complementary Therapies in Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed journal that has considerable appeal to anyone who seeks objective and critical information on complementary therapies or who wishes to deepen their understanding of these approaches. It will be of particular interest to healthcare practitioners including family practitioners, complementary therapists, nurses, and physiotherapists; to academics including social scientists and CAM researchers; to healthcare managers; and to patients. Complementary Therapies in Medicine aims to publish valid, relevant and rigorous research and serious discussion articles with the main purpose of improving healthcare.
