Abstract

Fibrin glue, also known as fibrin sealant, is now established as a haemostatic agent in surgery, but its role in orthopaedic surgery is neither well known nor clearly defined. Although it was originally used over 100 years ago, concerns about transmission of disease meant that it fell from favour. It is also available as a slow-release drug delivery system and as a substrate for cellular growth and tissue engineering. Consequently, it has the potential to be used in a number of ways in orthopaedic surgery. The purpose of this review is to address its use in surgery of the knee in which it appears to offer great promise.
