3D-printed implant for large bone defects
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a custom 3D-printed implant helps heal a large bone defect after injury or tumor removal. If you have a bone gap bigger than 5 centimeters and can safely have surgery, this may be a treatment option being tested.
