Limb reconstruction surgery comparison for children and teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods to rebuild bone in children and teens who need limb reconstruction. It reviews past surgeries to see which approach may work better, helping guide future treatment choices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under 18 years old.

- You must have been followed for at least 6 months after surgery.
- You did not have a type of fibula flap that includes the growth area (epiphysis).

This study looks at how a specific bone-repair technique (called induced membrane reconstruction) works in people with large “critical-sized” bone defects. It may help doctors understand the results and properties of this method in both children and adults.
This study looks at a surgical method that creates an “induced membrane” to help rebuild bone after traumatic injury. It may help people whose limb bones were damaged and are missing part of the bone.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze CT scans and help surgeons find the best blood vessels in the leg for reconstructive surgery. It aims to make surgery safer and more precise.
This study compares two surgical techniques for rebuilding bone in the lower leg or thigh after significant bone loss. If you need this type of surgery, you may be able to join and help doctors learn which method works best.
This study looks back at records of children, age 12 or younger, who had surgery to lengthen a leg bone using the Precice nail or an external fixator. The goal is to understand how well these treatments work for kids with a leg length difference of at least 2 cm.
This study gathers information on children with leg bone or muscle problems (from birth or later) to better understand their conditions. It may help improve future care for kids with similar issues.
