3D printing to plan spine fracture surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, 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 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 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 3D model to help orthopaedic surgery residents learn how to classify and simulate surgery for spinal fractures. It may improve training for future doctors.
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 study looks at using 3D-printed models made from your CT scan to help surgeons repair a broken lower jaw (mandible). It may help the surgical team plan more accurately and improve the repair process after a jaw fracture.
