About this study

This study aims to use 3D-printed personalized metal implants for bone defect surgeries in order to reduce pain of the patients.

Read the detailed description

Bone defects are common in ankle disease, and the conventional treatment includes autologous or allogeneic bone grafts. However, autologous bone graft may cause complications and its source is rather limited; allogeneic bone graft may cause disease transmission and the mechanical strength of the graft is low after processing.

The 3D printing technology has provided a new way of solving this problem. It has the following technical advantages: wide range of graft sources, high mechanical strength, and can be prepared in advance according to various shapes.

Preparation procedure: first, establish the individualized ankle model according to the patient's ankle CT scan data and then prepare the implant model; second, conduct surgery rehearsal and place the implant model in the ankle model for observation; third, after confirmation, use titanium alloy in the 3D printing machine to prepare the individualized metal implant, which is in line with the Chinese National Standard "Wrought titanium and titanium alloy for surgical implants" (GB/T 13810-2007); fourth, implant the individualized metal implant into the bone defect area after sterilization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3d-printed personalized metal implant in people with Bone Diseases, run by Southwest Hospital, China at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiaojun Duan, MD (86-23-68765290, duanxiaojun@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (time frame: Postoperative 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jun 2017.
