Abstract :
- One of the most frequent medical conditions
requiring inpatient hospitalization is fractures. In order to
maximize the possibility of the fracture surfaces to join and
fuse, surgical treatment of fractures typically begins with
a reduction of the fracture, which places the bone
fragments in their original location and close proximity to
one another. Then, they are either externally caststabilized or implanted with screws, plates, and wires,
among other implants. Medical and surgical management
techniques have advanced significantly as a result of the
incredible improvement in technology. Recently, the use of
bone adhesives/bone glue in the treatment of fractures has
been suggested. The idea behind "bone adhesives" is to fix
simple and comminuted fractures as well as secure
orthopedic implants and devices like plates and screws. In
this article, we will give an overview on existing bone
adhesive and its types, conventional internal fixation, its
disadvantages and how bone adhesives can possibly
overcome the drawbacks of other fixation techniques.
