This new type of simulation software enables interactive visualization of 3D fracture fixation biomechanics. Limitations of this study include lack of a control group undergoing traditional education and lack of a delayed posttest to assess retention. FracSim may provide an effective and engaging way to promote a deeper understanding of biomechanical concepts in the orthopaedic learner.
