Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic technology
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Distal radius and ulna fractures are common skeletal injuries.
  • Traditional cast immobilization has limitations.
  • Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers personalized stabilization devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review current information on 3D-printed casts.
  • Highlight design diversity, material properties, and clinical applications.
  • Assess 3D printing as an alternative to conventional casting.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar.
  • Analysis of studies on additive manufacturing for orthopedic devices.
  • Evaluation of material properties and mechanical strength.

Main Results:

  • 3D printing enables lightweight, ventilated, and tailored orthoses.
  • Materials like polylactide (PLA) composites show superior static and dynamic properties.
  • 3D-printed casts offer improved hygiene, comfort, and reduced skin complications.

Conclusions:

  • 3D-printed casts are a viable alternative to traditional immobilization.
  • They provide enhanced patient comfort, hygiene, and aesthetic acceptability.
  • Further research on long-term durability and clinical outcomes is warranted.
