Utility of 3-Dimensional Printed Models for Distal Radius Fracture Classification
3D-printing enhanced inter- and intrasurgeon reliability for distal radius fracture classification when compared with radiograph imaging alone. However, overall agreement with either method of classification was low. Statistical significance was achieved only with subgroup analysis. These findings suggest that while 3D-printed models offer some value, their impact on clinical practice may be limited in their current form.
