DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US Procedure Numbers for Minimally Invasive Spinal Implants 2017 - MedPro" report to their offering.
The spinal implant market is considered by many to be the most exciting and controversial segment of the orthopedics industry. This market has traditionally been a segment of the orthopedics market, but due to rapid growth and a large market size, many manufacturers view spine as a key business division separate from traditional orthopedics.
Rapid growth is expected in all segments of the U.S. minimally invasive spinal implant market as a result of the physiological and surgical advantages of MIS procedures over open procedures.
One of the key drivers for the MIS spinal device market is the increase in the target population, which is composed of aging baby boomers. The majority of procedures are performed on those individuals in the final third and quarter of their lifespan, usually over the age of 60. This age group is the fastest growing demographic cohort in the United States. The biggest limiting factor for the MIS spinal device market is the complexity of the procedures and the skill required to master them. In particular, percutaneous techniques, and, to a lesser extent, retractor techniques, are considered by many to be considerably more difficult to master than traditional open surgical methods.
Older generations of doctors and surgeons are especially reluctant to switch to MIS, as it takes a considerable time investment to master the procedure. The MIS interbody market continues to see a shift toward OLIF and LLIF devices and away from MIPLIF and MITLIF devices. The oblique and lateral lumbar approaches are expected to see more growth than their posterior and transforaminal lumbar counterparts, although positive growth is expected across segments.
