Claim 11:
12. A photocurable injection system (100) for creating in-situ polymerization of a photocurable polymeric resin to enable fractured bone fixation and extraction of a cured polymer, comprising:
a) a photocurable polymeric resin (110) comprising functional materials that are adapted to photocure into a stiff cured polymer that is pulverizable; wherein the functional materials comprise:
i) about 80% to 75% W/W or V/V of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin solution;
ii) about 10% to 15% W/W or V/V of isobornyl methacrylate;
iii) about 1% to 10% W/W or V/V of diurethane dimethacrylate;
iv) about 0.1% to 5% W/W or V/V of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and
v) about 0.1% to 5% W/W or V/V of polycaprolactone dimethacrylate;

b) a diffusive light guide tip; and
c) a minimally invasive ultrasonic system for extracting the cured polymer; wherein the ultrasonic system is configured to pulverize the cured polymer into particles and wherein the ultrasonic system is configured to extract the particles.
