Abstract：Objective To explore the role of a 3 D printing model in improving the standardized residency training and teaching effect on cervical spine diseases.Methods 80 residents who participated in the standardized orthopaedic residency training on cervical spine diseases were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into two groups:the observation group(PPT presentation + 3 D printed physical model,40 cases)and the control group(PPT presentation,40 cases).Immediately after class and one month after class,the residents'knowledge mastery,diagnosis and treatment techniques were tested on the spot,and their satisfaction and participation interest were investigated by a questionnaire(the 10-point method).P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results Immediately after class,the knowledge mastering situation of the observation group was equal to that of the control group(P>0.05),but technology test scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).What's more,the observation group's satisfaction and participation interest scores were significantly higher than control group,and both comparison differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).One month after class,the knowledge mastery and technology test scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of the 3 D printed model in the standardized residency training of cervical spine diseases can significantly improve the teaching effect,enhance residents'satisfaction and participation interest.It is worthy to be promoted in standardized residency teaching.
