Study Summary

This trial tests personalized care for fracture treatment: 3D printing customized plates to reduce time in the OR and critical procedure stages.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with jaw fractures who are treated at the University of Cincinnati Hospital. They must have been admitted through the emergency department and referred to the oral & maxillofacial surgery clinic, having received a specific type of CT scan.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if using a 3D printed model to pre-bend plates for mandibular fracture repair reduces time in the operating room compared to standard care without 3D printing.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves surgical procedures, potential side effects may include typical surgical risks such as infection, bleeding, pain at the site of surgery, swelling, and possible complications related to anesthesia.

Group I: 3D Model GeneratedExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Patient will undergo an Open Reduction and Internal Fixation preformed by a surgeon who had pre-operative access to a 3D model printed to help pre-bend hardware.

Group II: Normal Standards of Care without Aide of ModelActive Control1 Intervention

Patient will undergo standard Open Reduction and Internal Fixation by a surgeon who did not have a pre-operative 3D model.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is enrollment in this research open to individuals aged 55 or older?

"This clinical trial only invites patients between 18 and 80 years of age. Participants under the legal age require additional 67 studies, while those over 65 necessitate 292 more studies."

Answered by AI

Are there any spots available in this trial for those who qualify?

"As per the details on clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is not enrolling participants at present. The study was initiated in March 2021 and the latest update concerning it occurred two weeks ago. Even though sign-ups for this particular research are closed, there are currently 347 other studies that need volunteers now."

Answered by AI

Who would be the optimal candidates for enrolling in this medical study?

"This clinical trial is currently inviting applications from 100 individuals suffering a jaw fracture aged between 18 and 80. To qualify, they must meet the following requirements: be of legal age or older, have undergone either conventional or cone beam CT scans, been admitted to University of Cincinnati Hospital's emergency department, referred by their oral & maxillofacial surgery clinic for mandible fractures only, and approved by the division of plastic and otolaryngology at UC hospital."
