Current literature on fracture simulation

reconskills is proud to have two founding members in their team, who added significantly to the available body of literature on fracture simulation, by being authors in several relevant publications. Therewith reconskills has contributed in shaping the scientific landscape of fracture simulation and orthopedic trauma education.
