ABSTRACT
We used calibrated 2D images uploaded by patients to an online platform to generate a 3D digital model of the limb. This was used to 3D print a splint. This method of 3D printing of splints was used for two patients who were not able to visit the hospital in person due to restrictions placed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both patients were satisfied with the splint. We feel that this technology could be used to offer additional options to conventional splinting that allows contactless splint fitting. Level of Evidence Level V (Therapeutic).
