DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF MODULAR CASTS FOR WRIST INJURY

In the present work an attempt has been made to Design and Analyze 3D printed cast for patients with a wrist injury. After simulation and analysis it was found that the 3D printed cast was significantly lighter, with improved water repellent and air circulation properties, as compared to a traditional cast. Through the use of high precision design/manufacturing techniques, the final device could be accurately reproduced to match the test patient's unique anatomy, thereby optimizing the orientation of the patient's bones during post fracture recovery
