3D custom plate vs standard plate for jaw fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of metal plates used to fix a broken jaw near the joint. The goal is to see if a custom 3D-printed plate works better than the standard plate for helping the bone heal correctly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- Your jaw fracture is in the lower part near the ear (sub-condylar) and the bone pieces are separated (displaced).
- The fracture happened within the last 2 weeks.
- You have not had previous surgery on your jaw.
- You do not have a serious health condition that would make surgery unsafe or slow healing.

This trial tests two types of custom-made plates used to fix broken jawbones. One is titanium (a strong metal) and the other is PEEK (a medical plastic). Both are shaped to fit your jaw. The goal is to help the bone heal properly after surgery.
This trial compares two ways to fix a broken lower jaw angle: using a standard metal plate (Champy plate) versus a custom-made plate guided by computer imaging. The goal is to see which approach restores jaw function best with fewer complications.
This trial tests a special plate to fix certain types of broken jawbones. It may help patients who have a recent, clean break that needs surgery.
This study compares two types of titanium plates (3D-printed vs. traditionally milled) used to hold the upper jaw in place after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to see which type is more accurate and reduces surgery time, which could mean a faster recovery for you.
This study compares two different ways to hold a broken lower jaw (mandible) in place while it heals. One way uses a small plate with a special extension, and the other uses two standard plates. It may help people with this type of fracture heal better with less surgery.
This trial compares two types of metal plates used to fix a broken lower jaw angle. It aims to see which method works better and helps patients heal faster.
