New cement promises stronger healing for spine fractures
NCT ID NCT00931333
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special cement that mimics natural bone to repair broken vertebrae in adults aged 18 to 65. The cement is designed to be absorbed by the body and replaced with new bone over time. Only 4 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if the cement could safely restore vertebra height and reduce pain.
