Mesh shaping for broken eye socket repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways of shaping a mesh used to fix a broken bone around the eye. One method uses a 3D model made from your own scan, and the other is done by hand during surgery. It aims to see which gives better results for eye position and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a recent (within 3 weeks) break in the wall of the eye socket, either the floor or the inner wall, on one side only.
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have one or more of these symptoms: your eye is pushed back, you see double, or your eye is not in its normal position.
- Your CT scan shows a large enough break that tissue is bulging out or a muscle is stuck.
- You may also have a simple (non-shattered) cheekbone fracture, but no other major facial fractures.
- You do not have other serious injuries, eye damage like a burst eyeball, or conditions like thyroid disease that affect eye position.

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 trial uses computer scans to create facial shape meshes for patients who had jaw surgery to correct an underbite. It aims to improve planning for future surgeries.
This trial tests whether using a personalized surgical guide and custom plate helps surgeons repair cheekbone and upper jaw fractures more accurately. The goal is to improve how well the bones heal and how your face looks after surgery.
This trial tests a special plate to fix certain types of broken jawbones. It may help patients who have a recent, clean break that needs surgery.
