Lightweight Splint Design for Individualized Treatment of Distal Radius Fracture.

A systematic design approach is proposed for medical splints for individualized treatment of the distal radius fracture. An initial split structural model is first constructed by 3D scanning of an injured limb. Based on the biomechanical theory and clinical experiences, the topology optimization met...

      ab: A systematic design approach is proposed for medical splints for individualized treatment of the distal radius fracture. An initial split structural model is first constructed by 3D scanning of an injured limb. Based on the biomechanical theory and clinical experiences, the topology optimization method is applied to design the splint structure. The optimized lightweight splint is realized by additive manufacturing using polylactic acid. Compared to the traditional designs for the distal radius fracture, the optimized design by the proposed approach exhibits a weight reduction of more than 40%. Besides, the mechanical properties of the splint meet the requirements of medical treatment according to the simulation results. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability of the approach.
