LEUVEN, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Materialise, a pioneer in the medical applications of 3D Printing, has worked together with hand specialist Dr. Verstreken to give children with complex, improperly-healed forearm fractures a fresh chance for a carefree and active childhood. One of these children is 7-year-old Joos. Although he once avoided the use of his badly-healed arm, Joos can no longer tell which arm he had surgery on without looking for the scar.
The beginning of Joos’s story is a familiar one for many parents of active young children as it starts when he broke both bones in his left forearm in a playground accident in 2013. Where this story differs is that when the healing process was complete and the cast was removed, it was revealed that Joos had a crooked, improperly-healed arm for which the simplest movements had become impossible. This also left him without feeling in his fingers.
