The study participants underwent conversion of the standard plaster of Paris cast to a 3D-printed cast one week after the ED visit, and follow-up examinations were performed around two, six, and twelve weeks later. The primary objective was to examine the clinical feasibility in terms of complexity and length of the overall procedure. Secondary outcomes were patient-reported impressions and radiological results. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Twenty patients (16 males, mean age 37\u00a0\u00b1\u00a013.1\u00a0years) were included. The entire printing workflow took a mean of 161\u00a0\u00b1\u00a08\u00a0min. All patients demonstrated clinical improvement and fracture union at final follow-up, with no pressure sores or loss of reduction. Patient-reported comfort and satisfaction rates were excellent. The mean Visual Analog Scale was 0.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.1 and 0.6\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01, and the mean Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score was 18.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.5 and 7.6\u00a0\u00b1\u00a07.6\u00a0at 2 and 6 weeks after application of the 3D-printed cast, respectively. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>: The in-hospital workflow was feasible and efficient, with excellent clinical and radiographic results and high patient satisfaction and comfort rates. Our medical center now routinely provides this cast option for non-displaced wrist and hand fractures.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:italic>Level of evidence<\/jats:italic>: IV, Therapeutic Study<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1051\/sicotj\/2022021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]],"date-time":"2022-05-24T08:05:00Z","timestamp":1653379500000},"page":"20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["In-hospital production of 3D-printed casts for non-displaced wrist and hand fractures"],"prefix":"10.1051","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6232-3524","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shai","family":"Factor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2057-8948","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franck","family":"Atlan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3303-5985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tamir","family":"Pritsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Netta","family":"Rumack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4800-9314","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eran","family":"Golden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Solomon","family":"Dadia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"250","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1186\/s41205-016-0007-7","volume":"2","author":"Lin","year":"2016","journal-title":"3D Print Med"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1051\/sicotj\/2018032","volume":"4","author":"Nizam","year":"2018","journal-title":"SICOT-J"},{"key":"R3","first-page":"16","volume":"3","author":"Tetsworth","year":"2017","journal-title":"Putting 3D modelling and 3D printing into practice: virtual surgery and preoperative planning to reconstruct complex post-traumatic skeletal deformities and defects"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1051\/sicotj\/2021025","volume":"7","author":"Fontalis","year":"2021","journal-title":"SICOT-J"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E1","DOI":"10.1051\/sicotj\/2018003","volume":"4","author":"Elbatrawy","year":"2018","journal-title":"SICOT-J"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Schwartz DA, Schofield KA (2021) Utilization of 3D printed orthoses for musculoskeletal conditions of the upper extremity: A systematic review.
