The orthopaedic trauma devices market is witnessing a transformative shift with the emergence of computer-aided external fixators. These innovative medical devices, designed primarily for treating bone fractures and orthopaedic disorders, are poised to reduce treatment time and surgical intervention significantly.
The latest trend in external fixators is the advent of computer-aided external fixators, which offer six-axis capabilities for multi-planer corrections. These devices provide improved accuracy and decrease complications associated with traditional methods. They can operate both with and without computer-aided solution software, enhancing their versatility and usability.
External fixators come in various forms, including unilateral fixators, circular fixators, and hybrid fixators. These different types are used for treating a wide range of orthopaedic applications, such as deformity correction, fracture fixation, infected fractures or non-unions, and limb correction, primarily in superficial bones like the tibial shaft.
According to a recent report, the global external fixators market is projected to expand at a robust CAGR from 2024 to 2031, reaching a value of US$ 3 billion by the end of the forecast period. This growth is fueled by several key factors.
However, the market is not without challenges. Factors such as the availability of alternative treatment options, a shortage of skilled orthopaedic surgeons, and the risk of surgical-site infections in orthopaedic deformity surgeries are expected to restrain market growth.
Geographically, North America leads the external fixators market, with a high CAGR of 6.5% expected over the forecast period. Asia Pacific is also anticipated to contribute significantly to market revenue, while Western Europe is projected to witness gradual growth.
Prominent players in the global external fixators market include: Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc. (DePuy Synthes Inc.), Stryker Corporation, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., Smith & Nephew plc, Orthofix International N.V., Ortho-SUV Ltd., Response Ortho LLC, and Tasar?mmed T?bbi Mamuller San. Tic. Ltd. ?ti, among others. These companies are actively engaged in research and development to create technologically advanced external fixators, further enhancing their market presence.
Ortho-SUV Ltd., for example, has recently collaborated with S. H. Pitkar Orthotools Pvt Ltd to innovate the computer-assisted new generation external fixation device - Ortho-SUV Frame, expanding their footprint in the global external fixators market.
The future of orthopaedic care is evolving with the integration of computer-aided external fixators, promising better outcomes and improved patient experiences. As the market continues to grow, stakeholders and healthcare providers are urged to explore the potential of these advanced devices to enhance orthopaedic treatments worldwide.
