Smart move. The main problem that I see is that what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
This spikes are part of something that must adhere to our body, but they will shred also --our-- own cells.
I assume that there is a risk of inner bleeding, accidental destruction of any white cells frolicking around (maybe triggering immune responses), increase of tissue destruction in the surgery, or even worse the plates (or the spikes) could get loose after a while
... But I'm not a surgeon. I could be wrong.

- pvaldes 3y agoThis plates and metal bones are attached to the real bones. The attachment points must stand the weight of the body with minor bending. Must allow twists and the feet hitting the soil 1000 times while we run in the park. If a plate inside your hand gets loose there is a hell of pain. Eve worse they can start cutting the nerves of the fingers one by one really fast. I had see it and is not nice. Is imperative that they "fuse" into the bone ASAP and then stand any reasonable forces acting over the articulation. Polished surface implants are tested for decades and proven to be mostly reliable. This, not still. Has one pro and this is fantastic, but could have also serious cons, so caution is advised. Show me a layer of healthy animal cells happily covering such spikes, and we could discuss further from here.
