title: [Osteosynthesis with an adhesive in skeletal fractures: an experimental study].
abstract: A-cyanoacrylate proves to be an advanced means of osteosynthesis. It is particularly indicated for short bone fragments in the articular and comminuted fractures, where a perfect anatomic reduction is required. It is shown to be non-toxic for bone and surrounding tissues and to be endowed with a remarkable chemical bond. It is easily applied and inexpensive. The results are very interesting and stimulate continuation of the studies. The authors think a-cyanoacrylate (or a derivative) is the future of biological osteosynthesis.
