First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a new bioresorbable bone adhesive (Tetranite) to fix skull bone flaps after cranial surgery in 20 adults. The goal is to see if the glue is safe and works well, using CT scans and patient reports over 6 months. If successful, it may lead to larger studies and offer an alternative to metal plates or screws.
