Dynamic Putty Material To Heal Bones

DARPA, the Pentagon’s research arm, aims to “develop a dynamic putty-like material” which will definitely come in handy healing shattered bone by offering support to the entire body while the patient heals. Being bio-degradable, it will just disappear with time once the entire healing process is over. Dubbed the “Fracture Putty”, this could potentially “rapidly restore a patient to ambulatory function while normal healing ensues, with dramatically reduced rehabilitation time and the elimination of infection and secondary fractures.” Of course the road to success if not that smooth as there are still considerable challenges to overcome, but I’m sure the brains in that department will get it all figured out soon.
