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 study compares two methods surgeons use to plan surgery for fixing a cheekbone fracture: one uses a special 3D computer plan, and the other uses a more traditional X-ray approach. It aims to find which technique helps the bones heal in a better shape.
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 two types of custom-made plates used to fix broken jawbones. One is titanium (a strong metal) and the other is PEEK (a medical plastic). Both are shaped to fit your jaw. The goal is to help the bone heal properly after surgery.
This trial compares two ways to fix a broken lower jaw angle: using a standard metal plate (Champy plate) versus a custom-made plate guided by computer imaging. The goal is to see which approach restores jaw function best with fewer complications.
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.
