3D digital surgery study for bone and joint procedures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for one of these surgeries: radius osteotomy (forearm bone realignment), complex acetabular arthroplasty (hip socket replacement), or thoracic-lumbar spine fusion (back surgery).
- You can read and understand the study information and sign a consent form.
- You do not have complex deformities or complications that would require a custom digital surgery plan outside the trial.

This study compares three types of hip replacement surgery (total hip, Minihip, and RSA) using 3D imaging to see which one best restores normal hip function. It might be a good fit if you are planning one of these surgeries and have a healthy other hip.
This trial tests a 3D scanner that maps your spine during surgery to help the surgeon work more accurately. It is for people already planning spine surgery where the back bones are exposed.
This trial tests whether a full 3D computer-assisted approach helps better diagnose and correct jaw and facial deformities during orthognathic surgery. It may benefit patients who need surgery to realign their jaws.
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 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 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.
