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.
