About this trial

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effect of bioceramic implants on the repair of human bone defects, and to explore the application of bioceramic materials in bone defects, bone implantation, and bone fusion. The surface microstructure of β-tricalcium phosphate bioceramic implants can be effectively controlled to guide the regeneration of bones, promote the restoration of bones, accelerate the speed of recovery, and improve bone quality, which is of great clinical and social significance.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Quality of life (SF-36)

SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting and have been widely used.

Time frame
12 months
2

Level of bone healing

X-ray, CT and MRI images would be used to evaluate the efficacy of bone healing.

Time frame
12 months

Secondary outcomes

Other outcomes

1

Pain self-efficacy (PSEQ)

The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) is a 10-item questionnaire, developed in the 1980s by Michael Nicholas to assess the confidence people with ongoing pain have in performing activities while in pain. The PSEQ is applicable to all persisting pain presentations.

Time frame
through study completion, about 12 months
2

Incidence of nonunion

A nonunion is an arrest in the fracture repair process.

Time frame
through study completion, about 12 months
3

Incidence of infections

If any infections happen, the experiment would be stopped.

Time frame
through study completion, about 12 months
