We've already got metallic bones so why
can't we humans have more technology
that works for us? Is it even conceivable
for people these days?

do nanobots exist? what will they do in a human?
There is sadly no metal bones or nanobots, yet. There are bone substitutes they can inject with a syringe, and even bone made from wood: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8446637.stm
Nanobot technology is largely limited by the relative crudeness of 3D-printed objects. Once the printing methods can make objects that are measured in nanometers, the nascent nanobot biomedical industry will begin. These early nanobots will be non-replicating, and used primarily for precise delivery of drugs in the human body. As their complexity grows they could be used to perform non-invasive surgery on a level even more precise than robots allow today. Things like tumors could be eliminated with relative ease.
Science-fiction superpower bionics and nanoaugmentation is probably a century away or more, depending on the regulatory environment.
