Abstract
Introduction: Simulation-based training may improve overall healthcare value by improving outcomes and minimizing complications. However, there is limited information regarding the cost-effectiveness of simulation curricula, particularly in musculoskeletal conditions. The purpose of this study was to estimate the cost effectiveness of simulation training aimed at reducing cast saw injury by orthopaedic surgery residents. Methods: Beginning in January 2013, third-year orthopaedic residents rotating at a tertiary care children’s hospital were enrolled in a simulation-based curriculum, involving instruction on distal radius fracture reduction, cast application, and cast removal using an oscillating cast …
