Bone adhesive for reattaching skull flaps after brain surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a brain surgery that involves removing and reattaching a piece of skull (craniotomy).
- You have not had open brain surgery in the same area before (a needle biopsy is okay).
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits and have imaging tests as part of the study.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the surgical site in the past year, and you are not planning to start chemotherapy or radiation within a few weeks after surgery.

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 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 study is testing a patch called Tutopatch used during craniotomy, a surgery that opens part of the skull. The goal is to gather more information about how well it works after it is already approved for use.
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.
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 study tests a new type of bone glue (called a bioresorbable adhesive) that is used during standard wrist surgery to help hold the broken bone together while it heals. The glue is designed to dissolve over time, and the study checks if it is safe and works well when added to the usual metal plate and screws.
