A guide to improve surgery for early skull fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new 3D-printed guide to help surgeons perform skull reshaping surgery for young children with craniosynostosis (early skull bone fusion). It aims to improve safety and precision during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 24 months old.
- Your child must have a type of craniosynostosis called trigonocephaly or anterior plagiocephaly.
- The surgery must be done at Besançon University Hospital.
- Both parents (or one if there is only one) must give written consent.
- Your child must be covered by French social security.

This study tests whether burosumab and vitamin D affect bone cells before and around the time of craniosynostosis surgery in children. It may help researchers understand treatment options for rare calcium and phosphate bone disorders that can affect skull growth.
This study tests a new treatment called ASO (antisense oligonucleotide) therapy on tissue samples from babies with syndromic craniosynostosis—a condition where skull bones fuse too early due to specific genetic changes. Researchers hope this approach could eventually help prevent or reduce the severity of this condition.
This study looks at the skull bones and stitches (sutures) removed during surgery for craniosynostosis to learn more about their structure. It may help doctors understand better how to treat this condition.
This trial tests a surgical technique to reshape the front of the skull in infants with moderate metopic craniosynostosis (early fusion of the skull's front plates). The goal is to improve head shape without moving the eye sockets forward.
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.
This trial tests personalized surgical guides and implants to help surgeons precisely reposition the upper and lower jaw in patients with facial asymmetry or misalignment. The goal is to improve surgical accuracy and final bite alignment.
