Abstract
Scaphoid fractures are one of the most common fractures treated by hand surgeons. The complex anatomy and size of the scaphoid bone can make the reduction and fixation of these fractures technically challenging. Careful preoperative planning is required to ensure stable fixation is achieved. We report on the use of 3-dimensional printing to improve preoperative planning for a series of complex scaphoid fractures.
