These 3D printed models accurately simulate bone length and diameter, external contour, cross-sectional shape, bicortical anatomy, cortical hardness, cancellous bone porosity, and microstructure, and far cortex thickness for adult, non-obese males at left tibial shaft fracture pin drilling sites for modular external fixation.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]} These models feature a semi-engraved model number, gender symbol, and drilling direction arrow on the base of each model to assist with model identification and proper orientation. Each model has a vise attachment to allow the user to secure the model inside a standard vise clamp to maximize safety during simulation training.

3D Print Sample Models

For optimal print results, use brand new white PLA filament fresh out of the sealed package to 3D print each sample model.

1. 3D print one sample Adult Male Tibial Bone Model #1 and #2 using the ready-to-use print files or files prepared using the custom print settings.
2. Print the quality assurance checklist below for the 3D printed sample models by clicking on the "Download PDF" button in the upper righthand corner of this screen and selecting "Layout: Landscape" option for printing.
3. Review the quality assurance checklist to verify that each sample model was properly printed and fill in the checkboxes.
4. Any model that does not meet the standard for all the quality assurance checklist items will be rejected and must be reprinted in accordance with the instructions below.
5. Write the model production period, if Adult Male Tibial Bone Models #1 and #2 are acceptable, and the date of inspection and print and sign your name at the bottom of the checklist.
6. Attach the completed and signed checklist to the price quote for the consignee.
7. File and save a back-up copy of the completed and signed checklist for your production and inspection records.

Quality Assurance Checklist for Adult Male Tibial Bone Models #1 and #2

#	Action	Meets Standard	Does Not Meet Standard	Does Not Meet Standard	Check most appropriate response
1	Inspect the base.				🔲 Meets Standard 🔲 Does Not Meet Standard
2	Inspect the top.				🔲 Meets Standard 🔲 Does Not Meet Standard
3	Inspect sides.				🔲 Meets Standard 🔲 Does Not Meet Standard
4	Inspect the vise attachment.				🔲 Meets Standard 🔲 Does Not Meet Standard

Each model must meet standards for all the quality assurance checklist items in order to be acceptable for the Tibial Fracture Fixation skills modules.
