2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond®) Inhibits Bridging Bone Formation of Articular Fractures in a Rat Model.

One technique often used for small intraarticular fracture fixation involves the use of 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate (2-OCTA) (Dermabond®, Ethicon, Inc., Raritan, USA). The purpose of this study was to determine if 2-OCTA impedes bony healing.
