Trial summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of virtual planning using customized surgical devices (VP3D) in fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction. Virtual planning was compared to postoperative scans using cephalometric and three-dimensional (3D) measurements. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Virtual Surgical Planning Systems and Customized Devices in Fibula Free Flap Mandibular Recontruction

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of virtual planning using customized surgical devices (VP3D) in fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction. Virtual planning was compared to postoperative scans using cephalometric and three-dimensional (3D) measurements. Operative times of both VP3D and conventional surgery groups were compared.

Being tested
Virtual planning using customized surgical devices, Conventional surgery
Medical subject headings
Mandibular Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Virtual planning using customized surgical devicesProcedure or surgery

    Preoperative modeling was conducted by obtaining scans of patient maxillofacial skeleton and angioscans of the lower extremities. The planning phase was then carried out by the surgeon and the engineer (from MATERIALISE, Leuven, Belgium) so as to define the clinical and technical parameters of the reconstruction. This stage consisted of discussing and determining osteotomy lines, donor side, anastomosis site, and overall reconstruction contour. Resection was decided by the surgeon. 3D modeling and the manufacture of cutting guides and customized osteosynthesis plates were then undertaken

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of the cephalometrics measurements between the virtual model and postoperative outcomes

    The virtual model obtained using preoperative surgical planning will be compared with postoperative outcomes derived from facial bone scans conducted on all VP3D group patients 6 months after surgery (MIMICS INNOVATION suite 2.1 software, MATERIALISE, Leuven, Belgium).

    The cephalometrics measurements (in mm) between the virtual model and postoperative outcomes will be compared.

    Measured: Six months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mandibular Neoplasms, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of the cephalometrics measurements between the virtual model and postoperative outcomes (time frame: Six months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03869723, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2019.
