Currently, one of the main causes of morbidity in Ecuador are fractures in the forearm section in adolescents, using plaster for patient recovery, causing difficulty of movement and skin irritation. An alternative to this device is 3D printed orthoses, which meet the main characteristics of stability, rigidity, and density. In this research, the design of an orthosis was conducted using material selection, simulation, and topological optimization. It was determined that the optimal material is PLA, while in the simulation it was obtained that the minimum thickness of the orthosis is 4 mm, meeting the requirements of allowable stresses and deformations for the four movements exerted by the wrist, as well as a representative reduction of 9.58% of mass of the preliminary design during the topological optimization.
