how long until bone glue becomes widely adopted by the military to treat fractures in the battlefield?

Didn't Bone 02 finish tests like three weeks ago? It'll probably take 15 years to be brought to the US and then another 10 years to be adopted

This is a cool idea, but part of the function of an implant is to hold broken shit in the right orientation so that when it heals, it goes back to being a normal bone, I could see it being used in stable fractures, or in closed reduction, but those are already treated non surgically
If you've got a fucked up humerus with bits everywhere and you just glue it all together you're going to end up with a fucked up humerus, and a barely working arm when it heals, soft tissues don't just hold their shape when their supporting bone gets broken, you often see fragment overlap and other manner of fucked up shit in limbs for example
Most fractures in a hospital setting don't actually require implants, but you can't know for sure without imaging, and they also fucking hurt and are often accompanied by various other injuries, so on a battlefield, I think we'll still be just evacuating casualties rather than injecting magic goo and slapping PFC brokenleg on the ass before sending him back over the top, for the foreseeable future at least
