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.
