A month for a broken collarbone? That seems WAY too fast. Don’t let it fully heal and it will snap again the next him he’s hit or just dives for a catch and lands on that shoulder.
It's broken? All I heard was collarbone.

Breakthrough in Bone Fracture Treatment: China's "Bone-02" Adhesive
"
....reports from multiple credible sources confirm that Chinese researchers have developed a revolutionary medical adhesive called Bone-02, often referred to as "bone glue." This innovation, unveiled in early September 2025 by a team at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital in Zhejiang Province, can bond fractured or shattered bone fragments in as little as 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich surgical environments where traditional adhesives typically fail. It effectively eliminates the need for invasive surgeries involving metal plates, screws, or implants, potentially transforming orthopedic care worldwide.Key Features and How It Works
  • Rapid Bonding: The glue is injected directly into the fracture site via a minimal incision, achieving precise fixation in under 180 seconds. In one clinical trial, a procedure that would normally require hours for implanting steel hardware was completed in less than 3 minutes.
  • Bioabsorbable Design: Unlike metal implants, Bone-02 is fully biodegradable and naturally dissolves as the bone heals, avoiding a second surgery for removal and reducing risks of infection, rejection, or hardware-related complications.
  • Strength and Durability: Lab tests show it provides a maximum bonding force exceeding 400 pounds, with a shear strength of ~0.5 MPa and compressive strength of ~10 MPa—comparable to or better than some existing bone cements, though without their adhesive limitations.
  • Inspiration from Nature: The adhesive mimics the underwater adhesion mechanism of oysters, which cling firmly to surfaces in wet, dynamic conditions. This allows it to perform reliably in the body's moist, bloody surgical fields.
Clinical EvidenceBone-02 has been tested on over 150 patients in China, with strong results on safety and efficacy. No major adverse reactions were reported, and it has shown promise for complex fractures (e.g., shattered bones from accidents). Chinese health authorities have approved its clinical use, with rollout planned in hospitals soon. However, broader international trials are needed for global adoption, including validation for diverse fracture types and long-term outcomes.

Potential Impact
This could drastically shorten surgery times, lower costs, accelerate recovery, and make treatments more accessible—especially in resource-limited settings. Experts describe it as a "paradigm shift" toward minimally invasive, patient-centered care, potentially replacing traditional methods for many cases. That said, it's not a universal fix yet; challenges like scalability, cost, and training for surgeons remain, and it's still in early deployment stages." GROK

You have to admire the innovation but bones are not supposed to heal that fast.

Whoever developed that - did so to treat wounded warriors during battles.

The tweet is a bit misleading relative to the article. The glue doesn't heal the fracture. It repairs the fracture in 3 minutes, same as a metal plate and screws. The bone still has to heal on its own.

When will science create a tooth adhesive to repair cracks in teeth instead of having to use crowns?
 
When will science create a tooth adhesive to repair cracks in teeth instead of having to use crowns?
(AI) - "dental bonding uses a tooth-colored composite resin to repair minor cracks, providing a minimally invasive and affordable alternative to crowns for small fractures, chips, and other cosmetic imperfections. The process involves applying, shaping, and hardening the resin with a light, and while it's a versatile solution for many issues, crowns offer greater durability for more extensive damage. "

Using resin depends on the size of your crack.

I had resin put in a couple of cavities and it works great, has lasted for years.

Gorilla glue might work also.*

That seems like it’s news, not like it’s been being used already.

And I’m no doctor, but I don’t think the rehab and subsequent physicality of football is factored in to the recovery time for a fix like this, if I had to guess.
