Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/25/2013 -- Traumatic injury patients that come into the Emergency Room (ER) experience orthopedic injury in the form of fractures 60% to 65% of the time, based on GlobalData’s conversations with key opinion leaders. Of this population, 45%–50% are operable and require fracture repair techniques in the form of external or internal fixation. As the global population continues to grow in the emerging markets, with overcrowding and economic growth, some of the drivers for trauma fixation include motor vehicle accidents and aging. GlobalData’s analysis shows that while the orthopedics implant market is mature, where products have become commodities, trauma fixation is one that has room for more technological development and adoption.

GlobalData estimates the United States to be the largest market for trauma fixation implants. There are multiple drivers that contribute to the current state of the trauma fixation market. While factors such as reimbursement are currently not a challenge in the US for procedures and implants based on the proper indications, lowering physician reimbursement has driven orthopedic surgeons to seek other revenue streams and hold back some of the procedural numbers in joint replacement, stunting growth. This has in turn created more positive growth in plating and nail technology.
