Custom implants for complex limb bone reconstruction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests custom-made metal implants to fix severe bone problems in the arms or legs, such as crooked bones, shortened bones, or missing pieces. The implant is designed just for you using a 3D computer model, and the goal is to help your bones heal in a better shape and work properly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a serious deformity in a major arm bone (humerus, radius, or ulna) or leg bone (femur or tibia).
