摘要

Purpose

To evaluate radiology residents’ ability to accurately identify three specific types of orthopedic trauma using radiographic imaging within a simulated on-call environment.

Methods

We utilized the Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging Emergent/Critical Care Radiology Simulation (WIDI SIM) to assess residents’ preparedness for independent radiology call. The simulation included 65 cases, with three focusing on orthopedic trauma: sacral ala, femoral neck, and pediatric tibial/Toddler’s fractures. Faculty graded residents’ responses using a standardized 10-point rubric and categorized errors as observational (failing to identify key findings) or interpretive (incorrect conclusions despite correct identification of findings).

Results

321 residents evaluated sacral ala fracture radiographs and received an average score of 1.29/10, with 8.71 points lost to observational errors. Only 6% produced effective reports (scores ≥ 7), while 80% made critical errors (scores < 2). For femoral neck fracture CT images (n = 316 residents), the average score was 2.48/10, with 6.71 points lost to observational errors. 25% produced effective reports, and 66% made critical errors. Pediatric tibial/Toddler’s fracture radiographs (n = 197 residents) yielded an average score of 2.94/10, with 6.60 points lost to observational errors. 29% generated effective reports, while 71% made critical errors.

Conclusion

Radiology residents demonstrated significant difficulty in identifying these orthopedic trauma cases, with errors primarily attributed to observational deficiencies. These findings suggest a need for targeted educational interventions in radiology residency programs to improve the identification of these fractures.
