3D printing to plan spine fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses 3D-printed models to help surgeons plan operations for broken bones in the mid or lower back. It aims to make surgery more precise and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single broken bone in your mid or lower back (thoracic or lumbar spine)
- The fracture is a specific type (AO A2-A4) that needs surgical fixation
- You do not have any nerve damage from the fracture

This trial is testing a new 3D-printed model of the spine to help plan surgeries. It may offer a more personalized approach to spine care.
This trial tests a 3D scanner that maps your spine during surgery to help the surgeon work more accurately. It is for people already planning spine surgery where the back bones are exposed.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed implant to replace vertebrae removed during surgery for spine tumors. It aims to provide safe and effective support for the spine, potentially improving recovery.
This study tests whether using a 3D printed model of your tumor helps surgeons plan operations better than standard scans. It might improve outcomes for people with bone-invasive tumors that need to be removed.
This trial is testing 3D-printed, customized bone grafts made from donor bone to help children and teens stabilize corrective surgery for limb bone alignment. It may help patients who need a planned bone cut (osteotomy) plus a large bone graft to hold the correction in place.
This study tests whether 3D digital planning tools make surgeries for certain bone and joint problems more effective and cost-efficient. If you need a specific type of surgery on your forearm, pelvis, or spine, this trial could help determine if digital surgery improves your recovery.
