3D Modeling using Rapid Prototyping: Case Study of Distal Humerus Fracture

Abstract

The Locking Compression Plate gives a number of advantages in fracture fixation, combining angular stability through the use of locking screws with traditional fixation techniques. In the epimetaphyseal area, compression plate implant particularly suitable for use in poor bone stock and complex joint fractures. However, patient specific implant designing is complex and requiring careful attention to biomechanical principles as well as a number of potential pitfalls needs to be considered. The purpose of this study was to review the customized preparation of compression plate as per the requirement of patient.
