The post describes a real emerging technology called Tetranite (also known as phosphoserine-modified calcium phosphate cement), developed by the company RevBio.
It's a bio-inspired adhesive modeled after marine creatures like the sandcastle worm that can stick in wet environments. The key claims in the post's text are largely accurate:
It's injectable as a paste into fractures.
It hardens quickly (in minutes) for immediate stabilization.
It's bioactive and resorbable: over 6-12 months, the body breaks it down via osteoclasts and osteoblasts, replacing it with natural bone tissue.
It avoids permanent metal hardware like screws or plates, reducing the need for follow-up surgeries.
It's currently in use or trials for dental grafts and spinal fusions, with potential expansion to general bone trauma.

Similar bone adhesives are also in development elsewhere, like China's "Bone-02" (inspired by oysters), which bonds fragments in 2-3 minutes and promotes healing. For more on Bone-02:

These are backed by peer-reviewed research, such as studies on phosphoserine cements and related mineral-organic adhesives. Key examples include:
"Bioinspired Mineral-Organic Bioresorbable Bone Adhesive" (Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2018):

"Multi-objective property optimisation of a phosphoserine-modified calcium phosphate cement for orthopaedic and dental applications using design of experiments methodology" (Acta Biomaterialia, 2024):

(Note: One related 2021 fatigue/reinforcement study link encountered access restrictions, but the core body of Tetranite-linked publications remains robust and publicly verifiable via the RevBio publications page above.)
However, the attached image appears sensationalized and on a technical point, inaccurate:
There's no real "bioluminescent" bone glue (which would imply it glows biologically). This seems like a likely error or AI-generated exaggeration—possibly a mix-up with "biomimetic" (mimicking nature), as the glowing effects in the graphic aren't based on any documented tech.
Healing "in days" is overstated. Bonding happens fast, but full bone integration and strength recovery typically take weeks to months (e.g., ~6 months resorption in some descriptions). No legit sources claim complete healing in days.
Overall, the core concept is legitimate and grounded in ongoing medical innovations—with Tetranite now in multiple FDA-approved clinical trials (including for extremity fractures as of late 2025, cranial flap fixation, dental applications, and more: see recent announcements and trial info at:

and the company's press releases page:

—but the image hype doesn't match reality.
The nutritional advice in the post (collagen, vitamins C/D3/K2, calcium) is solid for supporting bone healing in general, regardless of treatment method.
