In a new development in the field of Orthopedics, a glue has been developed that could fix broken bones in a matter of minutes has been developed by scientists. Swedish researchers claim it could help millions of patients with osteoporosis, a condition that makes them prone to fractures. It is bringing an era where whole Orthopaedics surgeries and plasters may be replaced by such a glue in the future. Laboratory trials, on rat bones, showed that the adhesive would work in five minutes.
Further studies are needed to confirm it works in humans, but experts at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm are hopeful. Speaking about the breakthrough, lead researcher Professor said that they have finally managed to identify a surgically realizable adhesive to fix bone fractures. The results of the experiment into using glue to fix the bones of several rats were published in the journal…
