ClinConnect Summary

The study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial and point to achieve a comparison of geometry and use in the operating room between manually modelled bone grafts and bone grafts modelled using CAD techniques and customized cutting guides realized with 3D printing.

In addition, two other objectives will be pursued: (1) to conduct a preliminary analysis of the management and production costs of customized bone grafts and of the generation process using VSP and 3D printing of models and surgical interventions aids such as sterilizable PSI and GSI; (2) to treat pediatric patients sufferi...
