Could "bone glue" be close to reality?

For years, patients have been asking why surgeons can't just glue bones together.  Well, a company named LaunchPad Medical is seeking to do just that with their product, Tetranite.  They are developing a bone adhesive to "glue" fractures together.  They are currently in the testing phase of their product.

As both a shoulder and elbow surgeon and space medicine consultant with a specific interest in fracture care in low resource environments, such as during a deep space exploratory mission, this type of product could revolutionize surgical patient care both on Earth and Mars.  NASA is currently testing this product on the International Space Station to assess how it responds in a microgravity environment.

It is important to understand that this product has not been fully tested and may require several iterations before a viable product is available, but the concept is promising.
