Orthopaedics nanotechnology: Review with a clinical focus

Abstract

Nanotechnology has been extensively studied for its potential medical applications, particularly in orthopedics. This paper offers an in-depth account of the numerous orthopedic subspecialties where nanomaterials are currently as well as in the future being applied. One of the most promising innovations is the development of nanomaterials as scaffolds, which can enhance the interaction between natural bone and orthopedic implants. In orthopedic surgery, Nanotechnology can transform both diagnostics and treatments. However, further investigation is needed to guarantee the clinical safety of nanomaterials because it is still uncertain how they may affect human health in future generations.
