Introduction The human wrist is an intricate assembly of eight small carpal bones, stabilized by a dense network of ligaments that allow for complex rotational and flexion movements. When these structural fibers suffer trauma, conventional surgical interventions often struggle to replicate the native biomechanical properties of the tissue, frequently resulting in prolonged recovery times and […]

3D-Customized Hardware: Patient-Specific Wrist Fixation Systems
Introduction to Patient-Specific Orthopedics The field of orthopedic surgery is currently undergoing a transformative shift driven by the integration of additive manufacturing and advanced imaging technologies. Traditionally, the management of complex distal radius fractures and wrist instabilities relied upon off-the-shelf hardware, which often required intraoperative bending or compromise to fit the unique anatomical contours of […]
