1. 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;
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 extract said particles.
