Overnight and In-house 3D-printed Patient-specific Casts for Non-operative Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures

The 3D-printed casts are produced using 3D print technology based on software by Belgian software company: The patient's forearm is scanned with a tablet (duration: approx. 5 min), whereupon the cast is printed overnight according to the scan (duration: approx. 4h) and adjusted to the patient during the next appointment.

A conventional plaster cast is applied for treatment of the distal radius fracture.
