Titanium mesh vs bone cement for skull repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two materials used to repair a missing or damaged part of the skull after surgery or injury. It aims to find which approach works better for people who need this type of reconstruction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a hole or defect in your skull that needs repair
- This can be due to a previous brain surgery, head injury, tumor removal, or a birth condition
- You are any age, and you can be male or female
- You are healthy enough to have surgery
- You do not have an active infection at the surgery site

This trial tests a special 3D bone graft material to repair skull defects after brain surgery. It may help people who need a strong, custom-fit implant to protect their brain.
This trial tests a special bone paste (called Montage Flowable) that doctors use to hold the bone flap in place after brain surgery. It may help the bone heal better and reduce the need for metal plates or screws.
This trial tests a custom-made titanium bone implant created with 3D printing technology to repair bone defects. The implant is designed to fit your exact anatomy, which may improve surgical outcomes and recovery.
This trial tests a new bone cement (Neocement®) for treating bone defects caused by surgery or injury. It aims to see if the cement is safe and works well to fill the gap.
This is an observation study that compares outcomes after two types of skull repair: PEEK and titanium. It may help doctors understand which option works best and how patients recover, without requiring an experimental treatment plan.
This trial tests a titanium mesh cage to help heal large bone defects in the arm or leg. It may be an option if you have a bone gap from injury, infection, or a previous fracture that didn't heal.
