NCT ID NCT06661785
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested custom-made PEEK implants to repair large fractures in the bone under the eye (orbital floor) in 22 patients. The implants were designed to fit each person's unique anatomy. Researchers measured eye position, movement, and double vision before and after surgery. The goal was to see if these implants could safely and effectively restore normal eye function.

Active substance
Interlocking polyetheretherketone (PEEK) patient-specific implant
What this could lead to
If successful, this custom implant could offer a reliable way to restore eye position and movement after severe orbital fractures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery always carries risks like infection or implant issues.
