Computer-assisted surgical planning for limb deformity correction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new computer-assisted planning method to help surgeons better correct bone deformities in the arms or legs. It may lead to more precise surgeries and faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bone or joint problem in your arm or leg that needs surgery
- Your surgery will involve cutting one or more bones to fix the alignment
- You agree to take part in the study and have signed a consent form
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have not already had other types of limb correction surgery, like growth plate surgery or using an external frame

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing 3D-printed, customized bone grafts made from donor bone to help children and teens stabilize corrective surgery for limb bone alignment. It may help patients who need a planned bone cut (osteotomy) plus a large bone graft to hold the correction in place.
This study gathers information on children with leg bone or muscle problems (from birth or later) to better understand their conditions. It may help improve future care for kids with similar issues.
This trial tests a new digital method for planning jaw surgery that uses virtual guides instead of traditional splints. It may help make surgery more precise and reduce discomfort.
This trial focuses on adults with complex spinal deformities and tests how different surgical approaches fit their x-ray measurements and surgical plans. It may help doctors choose safer, better-tailored surgery for severe adult spine bending or imbalance.
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 study tests whether 3D digital planning tools make surgeries for certain bone and joint problems more effective and cost-efficient. If you need a specific type of surgery on your forearm, pelvis, or spine, this trial could help determine if digital surgery improves your recovery.
