3D bone graft for skull repair after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a new, dissolvable bone glue to fix bone flaps back in place after skull surgery. It may help people who need a planned skull procedure (craniotomy) in the upper part of the head.
This trial tests a new bone glue called TETRANITE to see if it works as well as metal screws and plates for reattaching a piece of skull after brain surgery. It may help avoid the need for metal hardware.
This trial compares two materials used to repair a skull defect after a prior surgery or injury. If you need a cranioplasty, you may be randomly assigned to receive either a titanium mesh or bone cement to cover the missing bone.
This study tests a new bone paste called Montage Flowable that helps hold the piece of skull bone in place after brain surgery. It may be an option for people having surgery on the upper part of the brain who are not eligible for other methods.
This trial tests a 3D-printed scaffold that dissolves over time to help regrow jawbone for dental implants. It is for people in Valdivia, Chile, who need bone buildup in the lower jaw.
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.
