Abstract:
The 2023 Orthopaedic Trauma Association's Basic Science Focus Forum featured a symposium on additive manufacturing (AM) in orthopaedics. Three experts presented on various aspects of AM: Dr. Malcolm DeBaun discussed custom 3D-printed implants for segmental bone loss, Dr. Samir Mehta explored 3D printing in education and surgical planning, and Dr. Guha Manogharan addressed challenges and opportunities in AM and hybrid manufacturing. The symposium highlighted AM's significant impact across clinical, educational, and industrial applications in orthopaedic trauma.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
