A Case Series: TRUMATCH Graft Cage for Segmental Long Bone Defects

Description

This project consists of a prospective case design. Study candidates will include all patients ages 18 and over who were evaluated at UCSD and found to have a critical-sized humerus, femur, or tibia segmental defect that would be fixed through surgery. Patients who consent to study participation will receive the TRUMATCH Graft Cage for their long bone segmental defect repair. Data on healing rates, complication rates, re-operation rates, time to return to normal activity, and pain levels will be collected for each participation. After 3 years of data collection, we will analyze this data to provide further insight on the utility of the TRUMATCH Graft Cage. Given the significant difficulty with repairing segmental long bone defects, it is imperative to evaluate novel systems to appropriately manage these injuries.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Humerus, femur, or tibia segmental defects requiring surgery
  • * Evaluation and treatment at UCSD
  • * Ages 18 year and older
  • * Abiltiy to understand the content of the patient information/informed consent form
  • * Any not medically managed severe systemic disease
  • * Their doctor has decided that it is in the patient's best interest to receive a different method of repair
  • * Their doctor has determined that the patient has a condition that would make them unsuitable for participation in the study
