The United States trauma fixation market is expected to grow over the next few years, according to a MediPoint report.
While the orthopedic implant market is mature and some products have become commodities, trauma fixation is one area that has room for more technological development and adoption, according to GlobalData. Orthopedic injuries account for 60 percent to 65 percent of the traumatic injury patients coming into the emergency room, and 45 percent to 50 percent of this population requires fracture repair techniques with external or internal fixation.
The U.S. is estimated as the largest market for trauma fixation implants, and reimbursement is not as challenging for these procedures as other orthopedic surgeries.
