Project Overview

Project Name:

One-line project summary:

This module utilizes a physical 3D facial fracture model and an augmented reality (AR) self-assessment kit for remote cost-effective surgica

Pitch your project.

The aim of our project is to teach principles of facial fracture repair to residents and staff surgeons using a 3D face fracture model and augmented reality toolkit. Repair of facial fractures requires fine motor skills, tactile feedback, and specific knowledge of the order and sequencing of repair. Our surgical training model will provide a cost-effective tool to help trainees plan and execute the exposure and reduction of a facial fracture, and apply appropriate fixation devices to repair the fractures. Trainees will be provided with a kit featuring a 3D physical facial fracture model and all of the requisite tools to repair these fractures. The model simulates skin, soft tissues, and bone accurately, providing trainees with precise psychomotor feedback. The trainee is provided with a smart-phone based augmented reality application which allows step -by-step comparison of the completed reconstruction to an ideal repair.
