Synthetic bone patch could rebuild noses without extra surgery
NCT ID NCT01234415
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a man-made bone material to repair the nasal septum in people with severe nose injuries from trauma. 26 adults received the material during rhinoplasty. The goal was to see if it is safe and effective at supporting the nose and helping the lining grow back, potentially avoiding the need to take bone from elsewhere in the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- synthetic bone material (HAP/TCP, BCP, Kasios®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a safer, simpler way to reconstruct the nose after severe injury, avoiding the need for a second surgical site to harvest bone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 26 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include infection, material extrusion, and chronic inflammation.
