Orthopedic trauma devices are commonly used in fractures of skeletal system. These devices include internal fixator, which are placed surgically at the location of fracture, and includes screw and plates system, nails, implants, and cables and wires. Plates comes with different number of holes (2 holes, 6 holes) depending on the severity of trauma, also it comes with standard, locking, and hybrid version. Intramedullary nails are to be used at different surgical sites such forearm, humerus, femur, tibia, and ankle. Screw comes either as intramedullary or cannulated, which are used at hips and other location. External fixator system are used to support the leg or hand for external support. It comes with different designs such as unilateral, circular, or hybrid.
Market Dynamics
Major factors driving growth of the orthopedic trauma devices market is increasing incidence of fractures associated with trauma injuries. According to fracture risk map provided by the International Osteoporosis Foundation, in 2017, regions such North America and Eurasia have high probability of over 15%, where people aged 65 years and above have risk of fragile fracture, whereas Europe and some part of Latin America has intermediate probability 10-15% for risk of fragile fracture. Injuries from various reasons such as falls and road accidents accounted for one of largest contributor for trauma. According to WHO report, Injuries and Violence facts 2014, over 5 million people die each year as a result of injuries, resulting from acts of violence (suicide and attack by other), road crashes, burns, falls and other causes. These injuries account for 9% of the world’s deaths, which is close to twice than that of other leading causes (HIV, TB and Malaria). Along with this several people suffer non-fatal injuries, which require treatment. Major players have broad product range to cater to different needs of people for various skeletal trauma. This is expected to aid in growth of the market over the forecast period.
