New surgical guides aim to help kids with locked jaws
NCT ID NCT07320911
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether custom-made surgical guides can help surgeons safely and accurately treat children with a stiff or fused jaw joint (TMJ ankylosis). The approach uses a special saw to cut the bone precisely. Eight children under 15 are taking part, and the study checks how well the surgery works by comparing CT scans before and after.
