| Popis: | Treatment of fractures remains challenging and carries a high economical burden to both patients and society. In order to prevent some of the complications, the use of bone adhesives has been proposed, but up to date, bone adhesives are not part of the current clinical practice. Early results of use of bone cements and bone glues are promising, focusing in the areas of highly fragmented fractures, fixation of long bone fractures, filling bone voids and defects, promoting osseointegration, preventing non-union while maintaining the reduction of fracture fixation. This review aims to describe the state-of-the-art of the development, properties and use of adhesives in fracture treatment. |
