We demonstrate a standardised simulation training framework that employs 3D-printed ex vivo hand biomimetics proven to improve the skills of residents and which paves the way to more universal, standardised and validated training across hand surgery. This is, to our knowledge, the first standardised method of simulated training on such hand-surgical cases.Level of Evidence: Not ratable.
