Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/23/2013 -- The current knee replacement market is a crowded space, with an increasing number of companies offering a myriad of partial, primary/total, and revision prostheses to meet orthopedic surgeons' demands in the management of knee diseases, primarily osteoarthritis. Worldwide, the primary/total knee segment represents about 80-90% of the entire knee market, with the remainder being partial knee and revision knee. Overall, clinical data show that short- to medium-term survivorship is excellent after almost all common types of knee replacement, regardless of fixation, constraint, and bearing type. Future competition among vendors will be more likely to center on the instrumentation and the ancillary equipment, such as patient-specific instruments, navigation systems, and robotic systems.

The primary factor for growth in the US knee market has been the rise in the aging population and the desire of these patients to maintain a productive lifestyle. This, coupled with constant innovations in implant design and a favorable reimbursement scenario in the US, has led to a continued increase in the procedure volume, despite it being slow and gradual. However, given the current economic situation, patients may choose to postpone their primary joint replacements.
