New Medical Devices market report from GlobalData: "MediPoint: Total Wrist Reconstruction - Current and Future Players"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/12/2013 --Wrist arthritis is a serious issue that affects a significant number of people and making it difficult to engage in many day to day activities. While it is most prevalent in the developed nations, it is a growing concern in the emerging markets as well. The primary indications that have caused wrist arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis. More recently with the aging population, and high quality biologic medications available for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and post-traumatic arthritis are the primary indications that get severe enough to be considered for surgical intervention. There is also an expected increase in the incidence of wrist arthritis due to the rising aging population numbers. Total wrist fusion (TWF) and total wrist replacement (TWR) are two surgical procedures that are considered in patients with severe wrist arthritis. While TWR is a motion preserving procedure, TWF has been seen as the gold standard especially in younger patients due to the high revision and failure rate in TWR. Patient demand and desire to retain motion in their joints will drive innovation and the numerous unmet needs expressed by physicians.
