Treatment varies based on fracture type, with non-surgical methods for non-displaced stress fractures and surgical interventions for displaced or intra-articular fractures.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study utilized the Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging Simulation (WIDI SIM) platform, an emergency imaging simulation designed to assess radiology resident preparedness for independent call. During an 8-hour simulation, residents were tested on 65 cases across various imaging modalities of varying complexity, including normal studies. A single, unique case of calcaneal fracture was included within the simulation in four separate years of testing. Cases were assessed using a standardized grading rubric by subspecialty radiology faculty, with errors subsequently classified by type.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 1279 residents were tested in five separate years on the findings of calcaneal fractures of 5 different patients. Analysis revealed a consistent pattern of missed diagnoses across all training years, primarily attributed to observational errors. There was limited improvement with training progression as all training years exhibited similar average performance levels.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Calcaneal fractures pose a diagnostic challenge due to their frequent subtle radiographic findings, especially in stress fractures. Simulation-based evaluations using WIDI SIM highlighted challenges in radiology residents' proficiency in diagnosing calcaneal fractures. Addressing these challenges through targeted education and exposure to diverse cases is essential to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce complications with calcaneal fractures.</p>","PeriodicalId":11623,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Radiology","volume":" ","pages":"653-660"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141537781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
