Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (over 18) with bone defects suitable for augmentation who meet the device's Instructions For Use, have a site that can be stabilized, and can give informed consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with local or systemic infection, metabolic bone disorders, unstable or load-bearing defects requiring structural support, or who cannot consent are unlikely to benefit from this device.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, observational post-market study collecting real-world clinical data on Neocement® when used according to its instructions for use in adult patients with bone defects. Neocement® is a Class III calcium phosphate cement combined with chitosan, intended for long-term implantation and expected to be partially or totally resorbed within about six months. Participating orthopedic surgeons will use the device in routine surgical care and patients will be followed for clinical performance and safety outcomes. The collected data will support the device's clinical evaluation for regulatory submission under EU MDR 2017/745.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, Neocement® could provide a resorbable bone filler that supports bone regeneration while reducing the need for other graft materials.

How similar studies have gone: Related calcium phosphate bone cements have shown positive clinical results, but clinical evidence specific to this Neocement® formulation is limited and is being collected in this study.
