This article will describe the development of a low-cost 3D-printed medical phantom of the arm with a distal radius fracture (DRF) to facilitate training of reduction and splinting techniques. The phantom incorporates tactile responses and visual stimuli from fluoroscopy to assist skill acquisition in a clinical setting. This provides feedback to trainees to help them develop competency and knowledge before providing care to patients.
