Additive manufacturing technologies are essential in biomedical modeling and prototyping. Polymer-based bone models are widely used in simulating surgical interventions and procedures. Distal forearm fractures are the most common pediatric fractures, in which the Kirschner wire fixation is the most widely used operative method.

Objective: Safe and stable fixation of metaphyseal and epiphyseal fractures by Kirschner (K-)wire osteosynthesis. Use of various K‑wire configurations depending on the fracture morphology.
Indications: In accordance with the AO Pediatric Comprehensive Classification of Long-Bone Fractures (PCCF), all Salter-Harris (SH) and metaphyseal fractures as well as fractures of the foot and hand independent of the reduction technique, closed or open, provided that adaptation osteosynthesis allows sufficient stability.

Objective: Anatomical reconstruction of the distal radius after intra-articular fractures with special consideration of the articular surface and treatment of concomitant ligament injuries.
Indications: Intra-articular distal radius fractures in adults under 65 years of age.
Contraindications: Osteoporotic deterioration of metaphyseal bone, radiocarpal fracture dislocation and open fractures.
Purpose: To present the successful results of the single-bone reconstruction technique in the forearm in a patient who sustained an ulnar fracture and underwent multiple osteosyntheses and failed grafts.
Case: Male patient, agricultural worker, who at age 39 sustained a left ulnar fracture. After 13 years and 5 surgeries involving different types of osteosyntheses and failed grafts, which resulted in infection of the left ulnar pseudoarthrosis, we decided to do a single-bone reconstruction of the forearm.
