Adhesives suitable for fracture fixation can unfold a paradigm shift toward personalized bone repairs. In article number 1800372 , Michael Malkoch and co‐workers describe a surgically feasible adhesive system that capitalizes on visible light thiol–ene coupling chemistry. Preclinical validation, performed via fiber‐reinforced adhesive patch methodology, reveals an unprecedented fixation strength that surpasses commercial dental systems or clinically used K‐wires and matches metal plates and screw implants.
