Study of 3D-printed skull implants for bone loss repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a custom-made, 3D-printed skull implant to repair missing bone in the head (cranioplasty). It may help people who have a bone defect larger than 1 cm and are in generally good health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
