Virtual planning for jaw fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a virtual 3D model to plan and bend metal plates before surgery helps people with complex jaw fractures heal better. It may lead to shorter surgery time and more accurate results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a broken jaw that the doctor plans to fix with a metal plate during surgery.
- You may have other broken bones in your face, but the jaw must be the main one being treated.
- You must be getting your surgery at one of two specific hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City.
- You must be willing to come back for check-ups after surgery to make sure everything is healing well.
- You must agree to participate and sign a consent form.

This trial tests two types of custom-made plates used to fix broken jawbones. One is titanium (a strong metal) and the other is PEEK (a medical plastic). Both are shaped to fit your jaw. The goal is to help the bone heal properly after surgery.
This study compares two methods surgeons use to plan surgery for fixing a cheekbone fracture: one uses a special 3D computer plan, and the other uses a more traditional X-ray approach. It aims to find which technique helps the bones heal in a better shape.
This study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
This study helps teams plan surgery for people who need part of the lower jaw removed and rebuilt using special tissue flaps. It mainly looks at whether having specific pre-surgery CT images is possible and useful for reconstruction planning.
This trial compares two ways to fix a broken lower jaw angle: using a standard metal plate (Champy plate) versus a custom-made plate guided by computer imaging. The goal is to see which approach restores jaw function best with fewer complications.
This trial compares two ways to fix a severe broken jaw: using custom-made 3D guides versus the standard method. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and recovery.
