Evaluating the healing outcomes of Mg OSTEOCRETE for bone defects
Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Patients Treated With Mg OSTEOCRETE
Run by Massachusetts General Hospital · NCT06720142 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new synthetic bone material called Mg OSTEOCRETE to see if it helps people heal better after surgery for bone defects caused by tumors, injuries, or loose implants.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who require Mg OSTEOCRETE for bone voids due to tumors, aseptic loosening of implants, or trauma-related conditions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to Mg OSTEOCRETE as per its Instructions for Use may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on Mg OSTEOCRETE, a synthetic bone substitute used to fill bone defects resulting from tumor excision, trauma, or loosening of orthopedic hardware. The study aims to assess the healing time and efficacy of Mg OSTEOCRETE through clinical evaluations and patient-reported outcomes. By comparing these outcomes, the research seeks to provide insights into the effectiveness of this alternative to traditional bone grafting methods. Participants will be monitored post-treatment to gather comprehensive data on their recovery process.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a safer and more effective alternative for patients with bone defects, reducing complications associated with traditional grafting methods.
How similar studies have gone: While there is growing interest in synthetic bone graft substitutes, the specific use of Mg OSTEOCRETE in this context is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
