Feasibility and Mechanical Performance of 3D-Printed Polymer Composite External Fixators for Tibial Fractures

Feasibility and Mechanical Performance of 3D-Printed Polymer Composite External Fixators for Tibial Fractures

This study evaluates the feasibility of 3D-printed polymer composite external fixator (EF) rings as a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel fixators, focusing on hybrid fixators for complex tibial fractures. Mechanical performance was assessed in three stages: (1) evaluating the initial EF–t...
