Orthopedic splints and casts are majorly available in fiberglass and plastic materials, which are applied over the injured area after being dipped in water. Fiberglass cast and splint products provide high patient compliance in terms of wearing comfort, water resistance and lasting support, improved X-ray radiolucency, and minimized muscle atrophy and other immobilization-related issues, thus, increasing the adoption of these products. Moreover, splints and casts are widely used to manage trauma and fall injuries, as they promote healing, help maintain bone alignment, and protect the injury.

Market Dynamics

Major factors driving growth of the orthopedic splints and casts market include increasing number of age-related orthopedic disorders and improved healthcare facilities in emerging economies. Furthermore, wide adoption of orthopedic splints and casts with increasing surgical procedures and trauma cases is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. According to the study by Orthoknow, 2012, around 2.9 million joint replacement procedures occur annually worldwide, including over 1.4 million hip procedures, 1.1 million knee procedures, and around 100,000 shoulder replacements.
