Rising number of sports injuries drives growth of the elbow lesion market in North America

Increasing number of sports events and competitions in the U.S, increasing patient awareness, good medical facilities, and favorable reimbursement policies are factors fueling growth of the elbow lesion market. Elbow injuries are considered to be an expected consequence of throwing sports.  According to a study published in Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine in 2013, 30% of baseball players will have elbow pain every year, and nearly 60% of players with elbow pain will show radiographic abnormalities. The elbow lesion market in emerging markets such as India, China, Russia, and Brazil is growing due to increase in number of sports injuries in these regions, use of advanced technology in diagnosis, and improving medical facilities offered by government and private companies.
