TRUMATCH graft cage for broken thigh/leg/arm bone gaps
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a specific metal implant (the TRUMATCH graft cage) works when there is a missing segment of a long bone in the arm, thigh, or shin. It may help stabilize the bone while doctors rebuild the defect with standard surgical care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- You have a missing segment (gap) in part of your upper arm (humerus), thigh (femur), or shin bone (tibia) that needs surgery.
- Your care team evaluates and treats you at UC San Diego (UCSD).
- You can understand the informed consent information and speak with the study team.
- Your doctor does not plan a different repair method as the best option for you.

This study looks at a specific surgical fixation method (how the thighbone pieces are held together) for distal femur or femoral shaft fractures. It aims to compare outcomes and see if this approach works well, especially by tracking results after surgery.
This trial tests a new type of metal rod (called an intramedullary nail) made from a magnesium-titanium blend that helps stabilize broken long bones while they heal. It may be a good option for people who need surgery for fractures in the thigh, shin, or upper arm.
This trial tests a titanium mesh cage to help heal large bone defects in the arm or leg. It may be an option if you have a bone gap from injury, infection, or a previous fracture that didn't heal.
This trial studies whether using two implants works better than one to stabilize a break in the lower part of the thigh bone. It focuses on people who can get surgery quickly after arriving at the hospital and who can be followed for a full year.
This trial tests custom-made metal implants to fix severe bone problems in the arms or legs, such as crooked bones, shortened bones, or missing pieces. The implant is designed just for you using a 3D computer model, and the goal is to help your bones heal in a better shape and work properly.
This trial tests a new artificial bone material to help heal small bone gaps in the arms or legs. It may help people who need bone grafting after injury or surgery.
