Fracture site motion is thought to play an important role in the healing of complex fractures of the distal femur via mechanotransduction. Measuring this motion in vivo is challenging, and this has led researchers to turn to finite element modeling approaches to gain insights into the mechanical environment at the fracture site. Developing a systematic understanding of the effect of different model choices for distal femur fractures may allow more accurate prediction of fracture site motion from these types of simulations.

The objective is to highlight high-quality evidence while showcasing articles with innovative ideas and high relevance to the practices of the anesthesiology education community.
Methods: Three Ovid MEDLINE databases, Embase.
Objectives: Mastery of lung isolation is crucial for optimal cardiothoracic anesthesia education. The authors tested the hypothesis that simulation- is more effective than didactic video-based learning (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor) to teach anesthesiology fellows advanced lung isolation techniques.
Design: A prospective randomized study.
