摘要：
A bone repair apparatus includes a partially polymerized biocompatible adhesive provided in a state wherein polymerization of the biocompatible adhesive is substantially suspended. A method for repairing a bone defect includes preparing the biocompatible adhesive, suspending polymerization of the biocompatible adhesive prior to full cure, delivering the biocompatible adhesive to the bone defect while polymerization is substantially suspended and accelerating polymerization of the biocompatible adhesive to achieve full cure. The method provides an implanted biocompatible adhesive with a malleable osteoconductive structure without compromising the physical characteristics of the biocompatible adhesive, thereby improving handling and delivery of the bone adhesive.
