3D-printed implant for spine bone tumors after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a 3D-printed implant that matches the shape of bone can safely and effectively support the spine after surgery for certain spine tumors. It may help with stability and recovery when a surgeon removes part of the spine bone (corpectomy).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 79 years old
- Your spine tumor involves 1 to 3 spine levels that need corpectomy (bone removal)
- Your CT, MRI, and X-ray confirm the problem in the spine, and the location is from C3 to L5
- You can and are willing to follow the study plan, and you can give informed consent
- You have enough expected survival time (more than 6 months by a scoring method called Tokuhashi)

This study tests whether a custom-made, 3D-printed artificial bone implant can safely replace large sections of bone removed during tumor surgery. It may help people with severe bone loss who cannot use standard implants.
This trial uses 3D-printed models to help surgeons plan operations for broken bones in the mid or lower back. It aims to make surgery more precise and safer.
This trial tests a 3D scanner that maps your spine during surgery to help the surgeon work more accurately. It is for people already planning spine surgery where the back bones are exposed.
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.
This trial is testing a new way to treat large bone defects in the lower leg or thigh using a custom 3D-printed titanium implant. It may help people whose bone didn't heal after injury, infection, or tumor removal.
This trial tests a custom-made, 3D-printed skull implant to repair missing bone in the head (cranioplasty). It may help people who have a bone defect larger than 1 cm and are in generally good health.
