I can't read the specific study they're citing here, but from reporting on it this sounds like it's being just a little bit overhyped - a quick setting glue is critically important, but the situations in which you'd use a metal plate for osteoimmobilization are with extreme displaced fractures and something that could even be accessed with a 3 minute surgery (and evidently yes, this glue does require surgery) would not merit a metal plate in any case.

The actual development sounds like it's a very fast setting bone-bonding bio-absorbing surgical glue that doesn't require extensive cleaning of the bonding site. That does sound like an extremely useful development, but it's also not a novel product by any means. This seems like another entry in the trend of pro-china hyped science reporting that absolutely removes all the interesting details in their quest to push a narrative (which uh... no hang on, that's all modern science reporting)
