Tumor Removal and Bone Reconstruction With 3D-Printed Implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a custom-made, 3D-printed artificial bone implant can safely replace large sections of bone removed during tumor surgery. It may help people with severe bone loss who cannot use standard implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 70 years old.
- You have a bone tumor that started in the bone or spread from breast, lung, prostate, kidney, or thyroid cancer.
- Bone loss is severe enough that standard implants or surgeries aren't possible.
- You have not had surgery on that same bone before.
- You are willing to have follow-up care for at least one year.

This trial looks at using a 3D-printed bone replacement during surgery to save a limb for certain bone tumors. It may help patients who need part of a bone removed and replaced with a prosthesis made to fit.
This study tests whether a 3D-printed implant that matches the shape of bone can safely and effectively support the spine after surgery for certain spine tumors. It may help with stability and recovery when a surgeon removes part of the spine bone (corpectomy).
This trial studies whether a custom 3D-printed implant helps heal a large bone defect after injury or tumor removal. If you have a bone gap bigger than 5 centimeters and can safely have surgery, this may be a treatment option being tested.
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.
This study tests whether custom-made titanium implants created using 3D printing technology can safely repair bone defects. The implant is designed specifically for your bone problem, and researchers will track how well it works and how your body tolerates it.
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.
