    Fractures of the distal radius can lead to symptomatic malunion, affecting 5% of patients with severe symptoms like pain and decreased function.

  • 2

    Corrective osteotomy aims to improve anatomical alignment of malunions, but conventional plates often require subjective adjustments by surgeons.

  • 3

    Patient-specific plates (PSPs) provide a tailored solution, allowing for optimal bone segment alignment and reducing the need for secondary surgeries.

  • 4

    This case series evaluates the clinical and radiological outcomes of using PSPs for distal radius malunion, hypothesizing improved anatomical alignment.

  • 5

    Preoperative planning involved 3D modeling and CT scans of both affected and healthy bones to guide the corrective osteotomy procedure.
