Chinese researchers have achieved a major medical breakthrough with the development of a revolutionary "bone glue." This innovative biomaterial is designed to rapidly heal bone fractures, setting in less than three minutes. The adhesive works by bonding directly to the bone fragments, providing immediate structural support and stability that is crucial for the healing process.

This technology has the potential to transform orthopedic and trauma surgery. It could significantly reduce recovery times for complex fractures, particularly those that are difficult to treat with traditional plates, screws, or casts. The quick-setting nature of the glue allows for minimally invasive procedures, decreasing surgery time and improving patient outcomes. By accelerating the initial critical phase of bone mending, this adhesive paves the way for faster, more effective treatments, getting patients back on their feet in record time.

After an Israeli airstrike cost Kenzi Madhoun her arm, she joined other Gazans in Lebanon for reconstructive surgery. Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah leads a team treating war-wounded patients—restoring function, not erasing trauma. The scars remain, as do the questions about accountability.

We give thanks for the trauma care
That saved Damar's life from despair
From cardiac arrest
A medical best
To keep us healthy and strong to share
