Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a Non-funded, Single Center, Multi-Arm, Parallel Group Randomize Control Trial.

In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the impact of a visual aid on patient comprehension an orthopedic informed consent discussion in low socioeconomic populations.

The primary outcome is patient comprehension measured by a Validated Knowledge-Based Multiple Choice Questionnaire.

The secondary outcomes include: Patient satisfaction and Time efficiency.

The investigators hypothesize that using an Anatomic Model Visual Aid during an orthopedic informed consent discussion will improve patient comprehension, satisfaction and time-efficiency of orthopedic care.
