ABSTRACT: Objective: To explore the role of Problem-Based Learning (PBL)+Case-Based Learning (CBL) orthopedic clinical teaching model in improving teaching quality. Methods: A total of 240 undergraduate students who participated in orthopedic probation from January 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the research objects and randomly divided into 4 groups, with 60 students in each group. The control group adopted the lecture-based learning (LBL) method, while PBL-CBL group used PBL+CBL teaching method, PBL group used PBL teaching method, and CBL group used CBL teaching method. After the course, teachers evaluated the four groups of students through comprehensive performance, and students evaluated the course via online questionnaires. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in gender and age among the four groups of students (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the exam scores (written examination and practical operation assessment) and student evaluation scores of PBL-CBL group were the highest, with statistically significant differences (P P > 0.05). All three experimental groups were higher than the control group. Conclusion: The PBL+CBL teaching method can achieve satisfactory teaching results in orthopedic probation teaching.
