3D-Printed guides could sharpen wrist surgery for rare bone disease
NCT ID NCT06460922
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether 3D-printed models and custom surgical guides can help surgeons better plan and perform wrist bone cuts for Kienbock's disease (stages II and III). About 20 adults will receive the 3D-assisted surgery, and researchers will measure pain, wrist function, and bone alignment before and after the procedure. The goal is to improve surgical accuracy and patient outcomes.
