Greenstick fracture distal radius8/13/2023 ![]() this review has found that angular displacement after the application of a cast occurs less often when the forearm is immobilised in the supinated position. treatment is with the application of a plaster of Paris cast. Relevant Paper(s) Author, date and countryĦ0 children, 20 randomly allocated to each groupĪngular displacement greatest in pronation group and least in the supination groupįracure of the distal radius is a common injury in children. treatment is with the application of a plaster of Paris cast, but in which position should the forearm be immobilised (pronated, neutral or supinated)ġ citation which was a high quality randomised control trial ![]() radiology confirms a greenstick fracture of the distal radius. In the future, 3D-printed casts for other fractures (stable and unstable fractures in the lower and upper extremities), and 3D-printed orthosis/braces in the field of orthotics should also be explored.In with should Clinical ScenarioĪn eight year old child presents to the emergency department with a suspected wrist fracture. Also, research is needed to estimate swelling more accurately to make the cast fit perfectly. However, this study ignores the compensation mechanism (muscle contraction and relaxation) of the lower arm. The human cadaver model study showed displacement after applying static loads. ![]() The wrist casts ensure adequate immobilization, comfort and can be implemented for greenstick and buckle/torus fractures. Conclusion: A lightweight, water-resistant, and ventilated cast can be designed and printed within 24-48 hours. The human cadaver model study showed displacement in the models if a static load is placed on them. Three children with greenstick or buckle/torus fractures were successfully treated with 3D-printed casts. The pilot study showed it is feasible to treat a patient within 24 hours after admission to the ER. The casts could be printed within 24-48 hours. Results: The material tests showed PLA was the best material to print with Fused deposition modeling (FDM).ith a semi-automated design, printable casts were created. A final step was the human model cadaver study, where a static load was placed on the casts to see if the cast could prevent secondary displacement of the DRF in a cadaver model. A pilot study was conducted to assess three aspects of 3D casts treatment: the feasibility of the implementation of 3D-printed casts, the clinical outcomes, and patient experiences. A workflow was designed to test feasibility and implementation in the clinic. Lateral X-ray Frontal Incomplete fracture of the distal radius. Material tests were conducted to select the most suitable design and material. Methods: Multiple sub-studies were performed. The aim was to investigate the feasibility of 3D printed casts, the implementation of 3D casts for the treatment of distal radius fractures, and to characterize the magnitude of fracture displacement during static load in human cadaver models with Colles fractures. Literature showed no consensus about the materials, printers, design, and implementation in the clinic for 3D-printed casts. The 3D-printed cast could overcome these issues: they are lightweight, waterproof, open-latticed. ![]() Up to 30% of plaster casting leads to complications. Introduction: Distal radius fractures (DRF) are traditionally treated with plaster casts, which have disadvantages. Distal radius fracture management Using 3D printed, in-house design, production, and implementation of wrist cast/orthosis for the treatment of distal radius fractures.
