Adhesive for bone

We have a skeleton that was damaged recently and we need to reattach
one part of the leg.  The bone is very porous.  I was thinking of a
couple of possibilities for the adhesive; the ever popular Acryloid
B-72, but the mixture I have are either very liquidly or a very
thick sticky paste. The other option would be the methylmethacrylate
cement used by surgeons to attach joint prostheses.

Does anyone on the list have any other suggestions for a bone cement
or experience with the options I mentioned?  I would also appreciate
any suggestions that you could offer.  Thank you,
