The patient, a 15-year-old boy, experienced problems with supination, in addition to a lack of pronation after conservative treatment of a double radius fracture. Thanks to Materialise's surgery planning and guide design services, surgery time decreased from 3 hours to 45 minutes.

The world-record-holder Paula Radcliffe ran her first race in two years to prepare for the London Marathon at the Worcester City 10k race with the support of RS Print's 3D-printed dynamic insoles. Paula's custom insoles were designed with the digital CAD capabilities of 3-matic specifically for her anatomy, dynamic gait analysis and needs as a runner. Her RS Print insoles were there every step of the way as she crossed the finish line in only 35 minutes and 49 seconds.

Aspect's platform technology constitutes an entirely new way of 3D bioprinting, engineered specifically with the capacity to fabricate physiologically complex living tissue on demand for broad applications in the life sciences. We have developed a sophisticated Lab-on-a-printer™ technology that enables unprecedented control over biomaterial composition and structure during tissue fabrication.

Sound Seekers, a national charity dedicated to helping deaf people in the world's poorest communities, has recently returned from a week's visit to Malawi, delivering vital aid to deaf communities. The visit also allowed the team to manage a number of ongoing projects and initiatives, and receive critical updates regarding their recent campaign with Specsavers Hearing Centres.

Surgical Planning with a Personal Touch

Case presented by Dr. F. Stockmans, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Campus Kortrijk, Belgium

It all started when a 58-year-old woman fell, sustaining an intra-articular radius fracture. Her initial treatment consisted of closed reduction and percutanious k-wire fixation. Shortly after the k-wires were removed, the patient began to experience problems moving her wrist and severe pain. By the time she reported this to a doctor, she was already suffering from a complex intra-articular malunion, a condition that is difficult to treat with traditional techniques. Fortunately, the patient then consulted Dr. Stockmans who in turn, collaborated with Materialise to find a solution to her painful situation.
