3D printed wrist models to plan Kienböck's surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses 3D printed models of your wrist to help doctors plan surgery for Kienböck's disease (a condition where a wrist bone loses blood supply and breaks down). The goal is to see if these models improve surgical results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with Kienböck's disease (also called lunatomalacia) at stage II, IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC (your doctor can tell you this).
- You cannot be in the earliest stage (I) or the most advanced stage (IV) of the disease.
- You need to be between 18 and 85 years old.

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.
This study tests whether 3D-printed models of wrist bones help students learn anatomy better than traditional methods. You'll need good depth perception and no recent wrist injuries to join.
This study tests whether using a 3D printed model of your tumor helps surgeons plan operations better than standard scans. It might improve outcomes for people with bone-invasive tumors that need to be removed.
This study looks at how connective tissue in the forearm develops and how it behaves in people needing reconstructive surgery. It may help surgeons better plan and improve reconstruction for conditions like radial dysplasia, or for other injuries requiring similar surgery.
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 trial is testing if a 3D printed model of your kidney helps surgeons better plan and perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (removing only part of the kidney) for kidney tumors.
