Virtual planning vs. standard surgery for cheekbone fractures
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares a new computer-based method to standard surgery for repairing fractures of the cheekbone area. It aims to see if the virtual approach leads to more precise results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a broken cheekbone that has been confirmed by X-ray or CT scan.
- You must be healthy enough for general anesthesia and able to have a CT scan.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form.
- You cannot have conditions that make bone healing poor, like osteoporosis or cancer, or be on long-term steroids.
- You must be able to attend follow-up visits and follow instructions.

This trial tests whether using a personalized surgical guide and custom plate helps surgeons repair cheekbone and upper jaw fractures more accurately. The goal is to improve how well the bones heal and how your face looks after surgery.
This study tests a new bone tape (BoneTape) for fixing certain types of facial fractures. If you have an unstable break in your cheekbone or upper jaw that needs surgery, this trial may be a good fit.
This trial tests whether using a 3D virtual model to plan surgery and pre-bend plates helps surgeons repair fractures around the nose, eye socket, and forehead more accurately. This may lead to better facial alignment and recovery.
This study compares two ways to fix a broken jaw (mandibular angle fracture) using metal plates and screws. One method uses a custom 3D-printed guide to help place the screws, while the other is the standard approach. It aims to see which is more accurate and may lead to a better recovery.
This trial uses computer scans to create facial shape meshes for patients who had jaw surgery to correct an underbite. It aims to improve planning for future surgeries.
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.
