Distraction osteogenesis devices are classified as internal and external distractors based on the placement of the device. The external distractor allows bone distraction in three planes and aids surgeon to alter the direction or vector of the distraction process. Moreover, the miniaturized internal distraction devices have made surgical procedure clinically feasible and practical, providing higher comfort to the patients.
Market Dynamics
The factors impacting growth of the distraction osteogenesis devices market include rising number of pediatric bone defects coupled with development of novel solutions by distraction osteogenesis device manufacturers to treat facial asymmetries, mandibular hypoplasia, and other indications. For instance, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, 2017, around 30% of cleft defects are associated with genetic syndrome such as Waardenburg, Pierre Robin, and Down syndrome.
Moreover, key players are focusing on research and development to introduce innovative products for enhancing patient satisfaction, procedure efficiency, and clinical outcomes, thus rising adoption of these technologically advanced devices and aiding in growth of the global distraction osteogenesis devices market. For instance, in October 2017, DePuy Synthes introduced MAXFRAMETM Multi-Axial Correction System, an external circular fixation device with a 3D planning software that helps improve accuracy of the deformity correction plan, which could reduce overall treatment time while improving procedural efficiency and reducing costs. The system is indicated for fracture fixation, limb lengthening, and bone deformity correction in adults and children.
However, the complications of the devices of forming marginal mandibular nerve and scars at external pin sites, requirement of second surgical procedure for removal of internal distractors, and high cost of total treatment are factors hindering growth of the distraction osteogenesis devices market.
