Anatomically accurate 3D modelling and printing in a case of obstetric brachial plexus injury

Obstetric brachial plexus injury is reported in 0.42 per 1000 births in UK and Ireland and are associated with a reduction in quality of life for the patient and their carers. In this report we describe the first use of a patient specific, anatomically accurate 3D model as a communication tool in the treatment of a complex case of posterior shoulder subluxation secondary to glenohumeral deformity resulting from obstetric brachial plexus injury.
