Cheaper, less painful bone graft for cleft patients under study
NCT ID NCT04234971
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two bone grafting techniques for people with cleft lip and palate. One method uses a lab-made bone material, while the other uses the patient's own hip bone. The goal is to see which approach is more cost-effective, causes less pain, and heals just as well. About 40 participants will be followed to measure costs, pain, and bone healing success.
