    Distal radius fractures are common, with malunion occurring in up to 17% of cases, leading to pain and reduced quality of life.

  • 2

    Corrective osteotomy is an effective treatment for symptomatic malunion but is complicated by the deformities' multiplanar nature.

  • 3

    3D technology enhances preoperative planning and intraoperative accuracy, improving outcomes compared to traditional 2D methods.

  • 4

    A shape completion model can reconstruct healthy distal radius shapes without relying on contralateral imaging, addressing limitations in current methods.

  • 5

    This study aims to develop and evaluate a shape completion model specifically for distal radius malunion using proximal radius data.
