New bone filler for healing after limb tumor surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new bone repair material that contains magnesium to help bone heal after tumor removal surgery in the arm or leg. If the material works well, it may help the bone rebuild safely and effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a noncancerous or low-grade bone tumor in your arm or leg that will be removed with surgery.
- The surgery will leave a bone gap of 6 cm or smaller that needs to be filled with a special bone repair material.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old, in reasonably good health, and able to have surgery.
- You are not allergic to collagen or hydroxyapatite (common components of bone repair materials).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have serious infections or medical conditions that would make surgery unsafe.
- You agree to regular check-ups for at least 12 months after the procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using a patient's own bone marrow stem cells can help repair large gaps in the shin or arm bones that haven't healed on their own. The stem cells are grown in a lab to create new bone tissue, which may avoid the need for metal implants or donated bone.
This study tests whether special magnesium clips can safely help close surgical edges after removing bone or soft tissue tumors. These clips are designed to dissolve in the body over time, which might reduce long-term side effects compared to permanent clips.
This study looks at how well a magnesium-based bone filler (Mg OSTEOCRETE) works for people who need it after bone tumor removal, to fix loose implants, or to help heal bone from injuries. Researchers want to track outcomes to see how helpful it is.
This trial tests a new artificial bone material to help heal small bone gaps in the arms or legs. It may help people who need bone grafting after injury or surgery.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed metal implant made of a special magnesium alloy that dissolves over time. It is designed to help mend broken bones near joints, such as wrist, shoulder, or knee fractures, where there is a missing piece of bone.
This study tests biodegradable magnesium plates and screws that dissolve over time in jaw surgery. They might offer a safe alternative that disappears after the bone heals, potentially reducing long-term issues.
