Biomechanical comparison of traditional plaster cast and 3D-printed orthosis for external coaptation of distal radius fractures

Introduction: Distal radius fractures make up around 20% of adult fractures, varying in type and severity, thus requiring different treatments. Cast immobilization is effective in indicated fractures, but is associated with several disadvantages such that 3D-printed orthoses (3D-Braces) have been in...
