Bone paste for holding the skull after brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special bone paste (called Montage Flowable) that doctors use to hold the bone flap in place after brain surgery. It may help the bone heal better and reduce the need for metal plates or screws.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be having brain surgery in the upper part of the brain (above the ear).
- The cut in the bone must be less than 3 mm wide for most of the bone flap edge.
- You cannot have had open brain surgery in the same area before.
- You cannot have had or plan to have radiation therapy to the surgical site.
- You cannot be on daily blood thinners unless they are stopped before surgery.

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.
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 a new bone glue that may hold a piece of skull in place after brain surgery, compared to the traditional metal screws and plates. It might offer a simpler and potentially safer way to reattach the bone.
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 Neocement® Inject P, a paste that hardens to fill bone gaps. It might help if you have a bone defect from surgery or injury that does not need structural support.
This study tests whether repairing a missing piece of skull very soon after surgery to relieve brain swelling can help patients recover better. The repair uses the patient's own saved bone flap.
