3D printed models may speed up bone tumor surgery
NCT ID NCT06387485
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using 3D printed models of a patient's bones helps surgeons plan and perform tumor removal more effectively. About 150 people with bone tumors will take part, and half will have their surgery planned with both 3D models and regular scans, while the other half uses scans alone. The main goal is to see if surgery time is shorter with the 3D models.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects must be at least 13 years of age. 2. Subjects must have the ability to provide written informed consent. 3. Subjects must have tumor(s) invading bone and requiring surgical excision including but not limited to craniomaxillofacial, spine, long bone, and pelvis. 4. Subjects must be willing to have quality cross-sectional imaging that will allow for use to develop a 3D printed model. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or nursing women. 2. Subjects that have a serious systemic pathology. 3. Subjects that have clotting disorders. 4. Subjects that have uncontrolled hypertension. 5. Subjects that are HIV-positive. 6. Subjects that are unable to be randomized; i.e surgical team prefers to use either 3D model or standard cross-sectional imaging for surgical pre-planning. 7. Subject anatomy has changed substantially since the date medical imaging from which the model is derived was obtained (as applicable). 8. Subject is a poor surgical or poor study candidate which may include, any medical, social or psychological problem that could complicate the procedure.
