Emerging Technologies in Hip Implants: Low-Wear Solutions for Total Hip Replacement


Description: Total hip replacement is a common and very successful procedure. Hip implants consistently last ten to fifteen years before needing revision. In younger patients, these implants do not last as long, because of the demand placed on the implants. Polyethylene wear at the bearing surface of hip implants has been shown to be the main cause of implant failure. For this reason, companies are now marketing three types of implants that are designed to decrease wear at the bearing surface thus increasing the life of the implant. These three low-wear implant options that are the theme of this analysis: metal-on-metal implants, ceramic-on-ceramic implants, and implants that utilize highly crosslinked polyethylene liners are all expected to last longer and will see most use in patients under 65. The “Emerging Technologies in Hip Implants: Low-Wear Solutions for Total Hip Replacement” analysis provides essential information on the low-wear implant markets in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the US for the years 2000-2005. Datamonitor’s analysis features market volume and value for these five European markets and the US, as well as for the overall European market. The low-wear implant markets will be broken down into two main implant categories: metal-on-metal implants and ceramic-on-ceramic implants. The market volume and growth from 2000-2005 will be forecasted in low, medium, and high impact scenarios for both types of implants in each individual country. A discussion of highly crosslinked polyethylene and its impact on the total hip replacement market as well as the metal-on-metal and ceramic-on-ceramic implant markets is also included.
