Video Review as a Tool to Improve Orthopedic Residents׳ Performance of Closed Manipulative Reductions

Video review provides a useful, innovative, and inexpensive method to improve resident competency in closed fracture reduction-a critical skill in orthopedic patient care. These procedures are uncommonly available for direct faculty observation. We have demonstrated that both residents and faculty were satisfied with the ability to review procedures, identify weaknesses, and obtain or provide direct feedback on this skill. Additionally, fracture reduction video review may help residents meet and achieve clinical milestones, an area of future investigation.
