A CT scan is performed for a patient with a forelimb bone deformity.
A 3D reconstruction is made using imaging software.
The bones are segmented to make a STL file, which is sent to the 3D printer. A life-size plastic bone model is built that can be used to plan and rehearse surgical correction.
Preoperative model showing wire joint references to guide alignment assessment.
Postoperative model confirming successful correction of limb alignment.
