Global Orthopedic Extension Devices Market – Driver

Increasing cases of injuries and trauma that require surgical procedures to boost the growth of the orthopedic extension devices market

The rising cases of trauma and injuries are expected to drive demand for surgical procedures and boost the growth of the orthopedic extension devices market. According to an article published in April 2020, in PubMed- a free search engine for biological databases, every year, over 310 million major orthopedic procedures are performed worldwide; approximately 40 to 50 million in the U.S. and 20 million in Europe. It is expected that 1-4% of these patients may die, up to 15% will experience severe postoperative morbidity, and 5-15% will be readmitted within 30 days. With an annual worldwide mortality rate of roughly 8 million patients, major surgery is comparable with the leading causes of death, which include cardiovascular disease and stroke, cancer, and accident.

Increasing product launches in orthopedic extension devices market

The increasing launch of products to invent newer orthopedic extension devices can drive the growth of the global orthopedic extension devices market over the forecast period. For instance, on May 16, 2023, Morristown Medical Centre of Atlantic Health System, a  non-profit health care network in New Jersey, U.S., announced that were going to offer Persona IQ- the world’s first and only smart knee implant for Total Knee Replacement Surgery.

Global Orthopedic Extension Devices Market - Regional Analysis

North America held the dominant position in the global orthopedic extension devices market owing to the increasing number of surgical procedures in the region. According to the data published in May 2022 in Becker’s Orthopedic Review- a source offering news and analysis on business and legal issues relating to orthopedic and spine practices, nearly 1 million knee and hip arthroplasties were performed in 2021 the U.S.

Global Orthopedic Extension Devices Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global orthopedic extension devices market. According to a study published in May 2022, in PubMed, a free search engine for biological reports and databases, The COVID-19 pandemic reduced the amount of orthopaedic surgeries performed in 2020. During the first year of the pandemic, the number of orthopaedic procedures declined by 22.8%.

Global Orthopedic Extension Devices Market Segmentation:

The global orthopedic extension devices market report is segmented into product type, end user, and region.

By Product Type, The global orthopedic extension devices market is segmented into  Hip Surgery,  Knee Surgery,  Spine Surgery,  Arm Surgery and others. Out of which, the knee surgery segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the global orthopedic extension devices market during the forecast period and this is attributed to ease the pain of arthritis in older patients.

By End User, The global orthopedic extension devices market is segmented into Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Specialty Clinics. Out of which, the Hospital segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the easy availability of sophisticated healthcare infrastructure in developed nations and the rising demand for high-quality healthcare services.

Based on Region, The global orthopedic extension devices market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa out of which the North American segment is estimated to dominated the market over forecast period owing to the rising healtcare infrastructure and growing cases of major trauma in the region.

Among all the segmentations, the product type segment has the highest potential due to the increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis across the world over the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published in September 2021, in Cleaveland Clinic, a nonprofit, multispecialty academic medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education, approximately 46% of people develop osteroporosis of the knee during their lifetime after age 40.

Global Orthopedic Extension Devices Market Cross Sectional Analysis:

Increase in the cases of obesity in North America region is expected to drive growth of knee surgery segment. According to data published in September 2022, State of Obesity 2022- an annual report produced by Trust For America’s Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), with support by a grant from RWJF, four in ten American adults have obesity. According to a report published on June 23, 2023, by The Blade, a U.S-based newspaper, an estimated 8,00,000 knee replacement procedures are done in the U.S. each year in which obesity plays a big role as obese people put all their weight through their knees. As a result, heavier patients increasingly need knee replacements at a younger age.

Global Orthopedic Extension Devices Market : Key Developments

 On February 17, 2023, Curiteva, Inc., a spinal implant technology company based in the U.S, got U.S. FDA clearance for its  Inspire 3D Porous PEEK Cervical Interbody System Technology. The implant technology exhibits good mechanical strength and helps to achieve a modulus of elasticity closely matching human cancellous bone.

On April 7, 2023, Ukraine’s civilian Emergency Medical Clinical Hospital collaborated with T&R Biofab, a U.S-based 3-D bioprinting specialist, to replicate special tissue microenvironments that would provided the ideal mileu for a skull implant that would be strong enough and that would enable the bone to grow back onto and into it.

On January 30, 2023, Additive Surgical, an Australia-based medical device manufacturer of 3D printed titanium, spine implant technology,  launched a range of expandable interbody devices. The whole implant has a microporosity of 6-10 microns (surface texture) that creates a favorable environment for bony on-growth.

On January 27, 2023, Croom Medical, an outsourcing partner for the design and manufacture of orthopedic implants, introduced a 3D printed Sacroiliac Joint Fixation. The device provides biomechanical stability, support, and range of motions for patients suffering from SI joint dysfunction.

Global Orthopedic Extension Devices Market: Key Trends

Global Orthopedic Extension Devices Market: Restraints

Product Recalls

Product recalls caused by defective goods or manufacturing faults reduce the rate of acceptance of these devices by surgeons and patients, lowering manufacturers' revenues. Challenges with size fittings, composition or other negative impacts of the devices are can hamper the growth of the global orthopedic extension devices market. For instance, in July 2020, Zimmer Biomet, a publicly traded medical device company, recalled an unspecified number of polyethylene orthopedic implants in Europe due to the possible presence of elevated endotoxin levels. Strict compliance with good manufacturing practices and regulatiory guidelines can help reduce the frequency of manufactural defects in products.

High cost of medical implants

The high costs of orthopedic implants and devices is estimated to slow down the the growth of the global orthopedic extension devices market. For instance, according to an article published by The Asian Journal Of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the official journal of Asian Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences, on May 15, 2023, beyond the warranty period, even a small repair in cochlear implants ranges between US$ 600 to US$ 1000. According to the American Association Of Hip And Knee Surgeons, the price for most primary hip and replacement parts generally range from US$ $3,000 - $10,000. Medical insurances, government initiatives and surgeries at tertiary medical centres can serve as an effective counterbalance for this restraint.
