Injury Jun 09, 2021

Belloti JC, Vaz Peres Alves B, Faloppa F, et al. - Researchers enrolled individuals with malunion of the distal radius with indication for surgical treatment, from December 2019, in the group of corrective osteotomies through planning with prototyping in 3D printing. They evaluated postoperative functional outcome by the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (DASH) and visual analogue scale (VAS). They further recorded radiographic data including radial inclination, volar tilt and joint step from standard posteroanterior and lateral radiographic views. The study enrolled a total of 9 patients. The results showed that corrective osteotomy through planning with prototyping in 3D printing was found to be an effective method of treating symptomatic distal radius malunions. As per the findings, the possibility of conducting the osteotomy in a 3D model, simulating the surgery, making the procedure more predictable.
