Abstract

Abstract : Customizable Bone Fracture Fixation In article number 2105187, Michael Malkoch and co‐workers reveal a fixation treatment for complex bone fractures, called AdhFix, which combines the strength of screw fixators with the customizability of hydroxyapatite containing composite plates, which can be built‐up and cured with thiol‐ene coupling chemistry on the bone fracture site. AdhFix is proposed as a non‐degradable and highly customizable fixator of bone fractures.
