This study evaluates the feasibility of 3D-printed polymer composite external fixator (EF) rings as a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel fixators, focusing on hybrid fixators for complex tibial fractures. Mechanical performance was assessed in three stages: (1) evaluating initial EF–tibia configuration under axial loading and wire pre-tension conditions; (2) analyzing stiffness evolution weight-bearing capacity during early healing with progressive callus formation; (3) optimizing ring designs through numerical analysis improve structural increased pre-tension. The results showed that, metallic EF, displacement one-leg stance reached 8.41 mm without pre-tension, reducing 6.83 at 500 N though transverse remained significant, suggesting need higher tension. Callus formation enhanced load-bearing capacity, expected. However, excessive displacements persisted stance, indicating that full should be delayed beyond two weeks fracture gap 3 mm. A design assessment full-ring configurations wires per improved performance. made carbon-fiber-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA-CF) reduced stress by 85% compared configuration, remaining within allowable limits. While confirming feasibility, highlights geometric refinements accommodate preloads stiffness.
