BoneTape trial for cheekbone and upper jaw fractures
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new bone tape (BoneTape) for fixing certain types of facial fractures. If you have an unstable break in your cheekbone or upper jaw that needs surgery, this trial may be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an unstable break in your cheekbone or upper jaw on one side of your face that needs surgery.
- You are done growing (skeletally mature).
- You are willing and able to come back for follow-up visits after surgery.
- You are willing to give permission (consent) to take part in the study.
- You do not have an eye socket floor fracture that needs surgery, an active infection, a pacemaker, or osteoporosis.
- You are not pregnant, do not smoke, and do not have a large bone defect that can't heal on its own.

This trial tests whether using a personalized surgical guide and custom plate helps surgeons repair cheekbone and upper jaw fractures more accurately. The goal is to improve how well the bones heal and how your face looks after surgery.
This study compares two methods surgeons use to plan surgery for fixing a cheekbone fracture: one uses a special 3D computer plan, and the other uses a more traditional X-ray approach. It aims to find which technique helps the bones heal in a better shape.
This study looks at the long-term outcomes of people who had a broken cheekbone (zygomatic fracture) treated at Erasmus MC. It aims to see how well patients recover and how treatment affects their appearance and quality of life.
This trial compares two ways to cover and support cheekbone implants (zygomatic implants) in patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. The study tests whether a natural fat pad from your cheek or a special fibrin product (made from your own blood) works better to protect the implant and keep soft tissue thickness stable.
This trial tests a special plate to fix certain types of broken jawbones. It may help patients who have a recent, clean break that needs surgery.
This trial tests two types of custom-made plates used to fix broken jawbones. One is titanium (a strong metal) and the other is PEEK (a medical plastic). Both are shaped to fit your jaw. The goal is to help the bone heal properly after surgery.
