Long-term safety of porous titanium implants for facial and skull repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study checks how safe and effective custom-made porous titanium implants are over time for people who had surgery to rebuild parts of the face or skull. It helps confirm that these implants work well long-term.
