The external fixators are used in surgical procedures to immobilize the bones and to allow the bone fractures to heal. External fixators provide stability to the bones and soft tissues after serious ruptures in the soft tissues or bones. The bone external fixators are used to correct bone misalignment, protect soft tissue after bone injury, and to restore limb length. The external fixators also ensure the ideal compression, extension, or neutralization of bone placement while allowing movement of the nearby joints. They not only aid in setting the bones correctly but also help to minimize muscle atrophy and edema (the buildup of excess fluid) caused by the total immobilization of a limb.
Market Dynamics
The increasing incidence of fractures globally is expected to augment the growth of global external fixator market. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine report from December 2020, the incidence of fractures were approximately 1,229 fractures per 100,000 individuals in 2020 in the U.S. According to the same source, the incidence of bone fractures depending on the location of the bones is given below:
