Titanium mesh cage for bone defects in arms or legs
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 60 years old.
- You have a bone defect of at least 2 centimeters in your upper arm, thigh bone, or shin bone.
- Your bone problem is due to a recent injury, a past injury, an infection, or a fracture that hasn't healed.
- You have enough soft tissue over the defect, meaning you don't need complex reconstructive surgery.
- You do not have an active infection in the bone or elsewhere, and you are not severely immunocompromised.
- You have not had a previous reconstruction attempt that failed and left you with persistent instability.

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.
This trial tests custom-made metal implants to fix severe bone problems in the arms or legs, such as crooked bones, shortened bones, or missing pieces. The implant is designed just for you using a 3D computer model, and the goal is to help your bones heal in a better shape and work properly.
This study looks at how well a specific metal implant (the TRUMATCH graft cage) works when there is a missing segment of a long bone in the arm, thigh, or shin. It may help stabilize the bone while doctors rebuild the defect with standard surgical care.
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 artificial bone material to help heal small bone gaps in the arms or legs. It may help people who need bone grafting after injury or surgery.
This trial is testing a new way to treat large bone defects in the lower leg or thigh using a custom 3D-printed titanium implant. It may help people whose bone didn't heal after injury, infection, or tumor removal.
