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.
