Computer-aided design to support fabrication of wrist splints using 3D printing: a feasibility study

Introduction: Issues contributing to poor patient compliance for splint wear include poor aesthetics, fit and performance. This paper describes a novel digitised splinting process using 3D printing in an attempt to overcome these issues. The output of the investigation was the creation of a speciali...
