Chest wall repair with custom 3D-printed titanium implant
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to repair large chest wall defects using a custom-made 3D-printed titanium implant. It may help people who need chest wall reconstruction after cancer surgery, a bad injury, or damage from infection or radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You need surgery to rebuild part of your chest wall because of cancer, a serious injury, or damage from infection or radiation.
- The area to be repaired covers at least two ribs or the breastbone (sternum) and is at least 2 inches wide.
- Your surgeon plans to use a custom-made 3D-printed titanium implant for the repair.
- You are willing to agree to the surgery, share your medical data, and come back for follow-up visits.
