The paper presents results of a 3D reconstruction of a congenital bilateral radio-ulnar synostosis. Basics of anatomy and biomechanical analysis of the elbow joint were introduced. Case report of a congenital bilateral radio-ulnar synostosis was presented. Based on the data from computed tomography imaging, the model of a congenital bilateral radio-ulnar synostosis was constructed. Basic information on reverse engineering, rapid prototyping and methods of making physical models are presented. The creation of physical models was aimed at pre-operative planning and conceptualization. Physical models were also used in the educational form at the stage of communication with the patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
