From: The efficacy of using 3D printing models in the treatment of fractures: a randomised clinical trial
Question | Subjective field (for patients) | Average score | P |
---|---|---|---|
1 | How much do you know about your fracture situation? (Routine treatment group) | 5.1 ± 2.1 | 0.000 |
2 | How much do you know about your fracture situation? (3D model group) | 7.6 ± 1.6 | |
3 | How much do you know about your surgical plan? (Routine treatment group) | 5.4 ± 1.9 | 0.001 |
4 | How much do you know about your surgical plan? (3D model group) | 7.3 ± 1.8 | |
5 | How much did the 3D prototype help you to obtain a clear understanding of your condition? | 91 ± 0.5 | – |
6 | How much would you like the doctor to use a 3D prototype to communicate with you about your condition? | 9.3 ± 0.5 | – |
Subjective field (for doctors) | |||
1 | Degree of verisimilitude of the 3D prototype to the actual fracture | 8.7 ± 1.4 | |
2 | Usefulness of the 3D prototype for preoperative planning | 5.9 ± 1.6 | |
3 | Usefulness of the 3D prototype for communicating with patients | 9.1 ± 0.8 | |
4 | Overall usefulness of 3D printing models | 6.7 ± 1.4 | |
5 | Would you use 3D printing models to treat a complex fracture again? | Yes = 8 No = 22 |
