Testing a new dissolving metal implant for joint fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken bone near a joint (wrist, shoulder, or knee) that has a gap needing bone grafting.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and come back for follow-up visits after surgery.
- Your doctor says it is safe for you to have the surgery and to receive a magnesium alloy implant.

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 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.
This trial studies a new type of screw made from magnesium that dissolves in the body over time, which might mean you don't need a second surgery to remove them. It's for people who need surgery to fix an unstable ankle fracture.
This study tests biodegradable magnesium plates and screws that dissolve over time in jaw surgery. They might offer a safe alternative that disappears after the bone heals, potentially reducing long-term issues.
This trial tests a custom-made titanium bone implant created with 3D printing technology to repair bone defects. The implant is designed to fit your exact anatomy, which may improve surgical outcomes and recovery.
