Market Overview
Rising Incidence of Spinal Cord Injuries and Diseases Drives Growth in Spinal Surgery Market
Spinal cord injuries and diseases are a major cause of disability in the United States. Physicians face the challenge of attending to about 6 million cases of lower back pain complaints every year. A variety of causes that affect the spine encompass degenerative diseases, arthritis, tumours, malformations, infection, trauma, and injury. Occupation-related injury also contributes significantly to the number of patients suffering from back injury.
Nearly 15 to 33 percent of the U.S. population between the age 20 and 65 suffer from back pain. About 48 percent of the old population has been diagnosed with arthritis, which represents a significant number instigating spine market growth. Moreover, the incidence of back pain among adolescents is increasing at a gradual pace, owing to the escalating obesity rates among the younger generations in the United States. The ever demanding patient pool has propelled growth of the spinal surgery market.
Spinal Surgery Market Moving toward Motion Preservation
Advancements in spinal surgical instrumentation and development of novel surgical approaches have expanded the horizons for the treatment of spinal diseases and injuries. Surgeons are currently setting trends by opening themselves to new technologies and devices that are able to relieve pain and bring about long-lasting results. 'A noticeable trend in the spinal surgery industry is the transition from fusion procedures to motion preservation approaches such as artificial discs and prosthetic disc nuclei devices,' cites the analyst of this research service. 'These devices aim at preserving the integrity of the spine while restoring the normal physiological motion.'
In addition to circumventing the need for bone graft and the pain associated with bone graft extraction, motion preservation techniques promise a faster recovery and return to normal activity. Motion preservation technologies offer a new lease of life for patients, thereby spiralling market growth. 'Though a prominent transition, both spinal surgeons and implant manufacturers feel that motion preservation devices cannot totally and immediately wipe out fusion devices,' says the analyst. Hence, spinal surgical device manufacturers are striving to design strategies that aim at maintaining the thrust toward success.
