5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study proposes to develop a computer-based software tool that will allow surgeons to plan and simulate surgery for patients with jaw trauma.
Investigator initial study to evaluate the use of preoperative computer modeling and the intraoperative navigation to guide reconstruction of the maxillofacial skeleton.
The investigators will test the hypothesis that patients randomized to the intervention (3D printing with pre-bent plate) arm have less operative room time and less time for the critical part of the procedure than patients in the control arm (no 3D printing, current standards of care). Personalized medicine and care for fracture treatment.
The goal of this observational study is to validate a novel patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for patients suffering maxillofacial trauma: The Survey for Maxillofacial Trauma and Soft Tissue Healing (SMASH-Q). The primary question is: Are the SMASH-Q modules valid and reliable measures to study quality-of-life (QOL) in patients with maxillofacial trauma? Patients presenting for routine clinic follow-up for maxillofacial trauma will be invited to complete the SMASH-Q in addition to the 15 Dimension (15D) QOL survey as a control.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new rubber material used to make prosthetic replacements of the face lost to cancer, trauma, or birth defects.
