This working group fosters interactive discussion centered on the exchange of individual approaches to angular limb deformity correction using computer-assisted design (CAD) software and 3D printing technology. Designated groups or presenters develop a surgical plan in advance and present their approach, methodology, and the rationale behind their virtual planning and correction techniques. Following these presentations, key differences between the approaches are analyzed and discussed. The primary objective of this program is to initiate efforts toward identifying common methodologies that may contribute to the standardization and refinement of best practices in this field.
