What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-printed titanium alloy implants in treating adults with long bone defects caused by trauma or tumor resection. The study focuses on reconstructing these bone defects to improve limb function and recovery. Participants undergo a full CT scan of both limbs to help design a custom implant based on the healthy limbs data. The implant is made from Titanium - 6 Aluminum - 4 Vanadium ELI using Electron Beam Melting technology and tested for mechanical strength in Australia. Once approved, the implant is post-processed, sterilized, and prepared for surgery. During the study, researchers will record surgical details like blood loss and operative time. Participants limb function will be assessed from 1 to 12 months after surgery using functional and radiological imaging outcomes. Complications will be monitored throughout the study, which lasts approximately one year.
