What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tested whether custom-made titanium plates, designed from CT scans and 3D printing, work better than standard lambda plates for fixing broken jaw joints. Twenty-four adults with subcondylar fractures were treated with one of the two plates. Researchers measured surgery time, pain, and jaw function to see which plate leads to better recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
titanium plate (custom-made or standard lambda plate)
What this could lead to
If custom plates work better, they could become a new standard for treating jaw fractures, leading to faster surgery and better recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 24 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. Custom plates are also more expensive and time-consuming to make.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult Patients with mandibular subcondylar fracture indicated for open reduction and internal fixation. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with systemic diseases that affect tissue healing. * Mandibular condylar head or neck fractures. (Condylar neck is the where the caudal portion of the joint capsule attaches. It is the thin constricted area immediately below the condylar head.)
