Target of the study is to evaluate the reduction accuracy of 3D computer-planned osteotomies
that are performed with patient-specific instruments.
Due to the higher accuracy achieved it is expected that complaints can be resolved or
effectively revealed. The Research hypothesis to prove is "The medical product permits the
surgical reduction of deformed bones of the hand and forearm (radius, ulna, distal humerus,
carpal, metacarpal, and finger bones) by corrective osteotomy within an accuracy of 2 mm and
2º. Secondary outcome is an assessment of the surgical outcome using the "Disabilities of the
Arm, Shoulder and Hand" (DASH) and the "Patient related wrist Evaluation" (PRWE) scores.

| Primary | 3D difference between preoperative plan and surgery | For each reduced fragment the 3D difference in all 6 degrees of freedom (3xrotation, 3xtranslation) is quantified by comparing pre- and postoperative CT. | 42 month | |
| Secondary | Surgical Outcome | The surgical outcome is assessed by comparing DASH- and PRWE-scores pre- and postoperatively. | 42 month |
