Custom Guides for Cheekbone and Upper Jaw Fracture Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cheekbone and upper jaw fracture (zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture) that needs surgery
- You are 18 years or older
- Your bones are healthy enough to hold surgical plates and screws
- You can have CT scans and follow post-surgery instructions carefully
- You do not have serious medical conditions that would make surgery unsafe (like uncontrolled diabetes or weak bones from osteoporosis)

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.
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 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 tests a special plate to fix certain types of broken jawbones. It may help patients who have a recent, clean break that needs surgery.
This study compares two types of surgical guides (metallic and resin-based) to help dentists place zygomatic implants—special dental anchors used when the upper jaw bone is severely worn down. The goal is to see which guide method places these implants more accurately.
This trial tests a custom-made metal plate designed to replace a missing piece of your lower jaw bone. It may be a good option if you have a gap in your jaw from a tumor, infection, or injury, as long as the joint near your ear is not involved.
