Table 3.

Comparison for improvement in correct identification of fracture type during the pre-test and post-test between groups

	Elementary fractures (5 simple)	Associated fractures (5 complex)
Group 1 (n = 40*)	11	19	20% (p = 0.10)	8	16	20% (p = 0.04)
Group 2 (n = 40*)	13	29	40% (p = 0.04)	10	24	35% (p = 0.03)

^* Elementary and Associated types have 5 subtypes each; ref footnote Fig. 2. Thus, for 8 participants in each group (n = 8) the total correct answers = 40 (5 × 8)
