![Figure 1: a) Nanotextured spinal implants now in over 30,000 humans with no cases of failure [2]. Such implants are being commercialized by Nanovis. b) Nanosensors now being used to detect the presence of bacteria, inflammatory cells, or bone-forming cells on implants. Such nanosensors can communicate to handheld devices and can respond in real-time to reverse adverse events. Such sensors have been implanted in sheep for up to 12 weeks showing the ability to promote bone growth.](https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Screenshot-2024-07-04-at-09.19.27-218x150.png "Opinion: What are the barriers to innovation in medicine?")
