3D-printed implant for large lower-limb bone defects
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bone defect in your lower leg, thigh, or foot caused by an injury, infection, or tumor.
- The bone defect must be larger than 5 centimeters (about 2 inches).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You agree to receive a 3D-printed titanium implant to fix the bone.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study procedures.

This study tests whether custom-made titanium implants created using 3D printing technology can safely repair bone defects. The implant is designed specifically for your bone problem, and researchers will track how well it works and how your body tolerates it.
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 man-made bone material to fill holes in arm or leg bones. It might help if you need a bone graft for a small- to medium-sized defect and are otherwise healthy.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed metal implant made of a special magnesium alloy that dissolves over time. It is designed to help mend broken bones near joints, such as wrist, shoulder, or knee fractures, where there is a missing piece of bone.
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 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.
