3D Printing Technology at Griffith is creating hope for sufferers of Scapholunate Interosseous Ligament injury also known as SLIL.
SLIL is then most common wrist injury which can be career-ending for athletes and result in long-term disability for others.
However, Griffith Professor Randy Bindra and Professor David Lloyd from Gold Coast Orthopaedic Research, Engineering and Education Alliance, are developing a technique to replace the ligaments using 3D bioprinting technology.
