Hip Replacement Implants Market - Global Analysis and Industry Forecast

Transparency Market Research Reports incorporated a definite business overview and investigation inclines on "Hip Replacement Implants Market". This report likewise incorporates more illumination about fundamental review of the business including definitions, requisitions and worldwide business sector industry structure.

Hip replacement is a medical procedure in which the joint of the hip is surgically replaced by an implant that include devices used to restore mobility and offer relieve from pain that are usually associated with hip diseases, arthritis and hip injuries. The design features of each hip replacement implants that include dimensions, size and material makes each implants unique and distinctive.


Additionally, hip replacement implants will have different outcomes and distinct set of risks and benefits in various patients. Factors such as patient’s weight, sex, age, activity level, the chosen type of implant, disease diagnosis and the conditions of surgery influence the longevity of the implant. Some of the currently FDA approved types of hip replacement implants that are usually used in hip surgeries are as follows:

  • Metal-on-metal, hip replacement implant that consists of a metal ball that goes into the metal socket and a metal stem that is inserted into the thigh bone
  • Metal-on-Polyethylene, the most commonly used hip replacement implant that consist of a socket made of plastic (Polyethylene) and the ball and stem are made of metal
  • Ceramic-on-metal, hip replacement implant that consists of a ball made of ceramic and a metal socket
  • Ceramic-on-Polyethylene, used in younger patients due to its reduced joint wear and better lubrication, this type of implant consists of a socket made of Polyethylene and a metal ball
  • Ceramic-on-Ceramic, consists of ceramic ball and a socket that has ceramic lining
Suffering with the most common form of arthritis in the U.S. and other countries – osteoarthritis, almost half million Americans underwent hip replacement surgeries in 2011. According to the WHO, osteoarthritis will be the fourth leading cause of global burden of non-fatal disease by 2020. Hence, continuous increase in the incidence rate of osteoarthritis, hip injuries, rheumatoid arthritis, aging and obese population are some of the factors that can drive the global hip replacement implants market. However, adverse effects associated with hip replacement implants such as osteolysis, chronic pain, vein thrombosis, metal toxicity and nerve palsy are some of the factors that can hinder the growth of the global hip replacement implants market.
From the geographical perspective, North America leads the global hip replacement implants market and is followed by Europe, due to factors such as existence of large arthritic patient pool and favorable reimbursement policies. On the other hand, due to increase cases of hip injuries and diseases Asia-Pacific is likely to be the growing market for hip replacement implants.
Biomet, Inc., DePuy, Inc., Smith & Nephew Plc., Stryker Corporation and Zimmer Holdings, Inc. are some of the major companies contributing to the development and marketing of hip replacement implants.

Global Stent Grafts Market, 2013-2019

Transparency Market Research Reports incorporated a definite business overview and investigation inclines on "Stent Grafts Market". This report likewise incorporates more illumination about fundamental review of the business including definitions, requisitions and worldwide business sector industry structure.

A stent graft is a tube shaped device composed of a rigid structure called a stent (mostly a metal) and a special fabric covering the stent. A stent is a metal mesh without any covering but a stent graft has a fabric covering and is mainly used in endovascular surgeries.


A stent graft is used to repair abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a procedure called as endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). In EVAR, a stent graft is placed inside the aorta through which the blood flows uninterruptedly, instead of flowing through the aneurysm sack which is the weak point. Stent grafts can be categorized into two major segments, namely, bifurcated and aorta-uni-iliac (AUI) stent grafts. The stent grafts market can also be segmented into abdominal and thoracic aortic stent grafts.

The growth drivers for the stent grafts market are increasing acceptance of EVAR procedures worldwide, increasing efforts for creating awareness about aneurysms, rising demand for minimally invasive endovascular surgeries, aging population and rising incidences of diseases like obesity and diabetes. Increasing number of people affected by obesity and diabetes worldwide will drive the demand for endovascular surgeries. Technological advancements in EVAR and rising demand for minimally invasive procedures will drive the stent grafts market in future. However, increasing acceptance of balloon angioplasty may prove to be a restraint for this market.

The North American market, especially the U.S., dominates the stent grafts market with the largest market share followed by the European market. The Asia-Pacific market has shown the fastest growth in recent past and is expected to contribute more in future due to increasing healthcare awareness and facilities in the region. The major players operating in this market are Cook Medical, Inc., Covidien plc, Medtronic, Inc., C. R. Bard, Inc., Lifetech Scientific (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd., B. Braun Melsungen AG, Shanghai MicroPort Medical (Group) Co., Ltd., Terumo Medical Corporation, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. and Endologix, Inc.

An Overview of the Minimally Invasive Vertebral Compression Fracture Repair Market

Vertebral invasive compression fractures, also commonly called spine fractures, occur when the bony block or the vertebrae in our spine suffers crack or gets deformed.



Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are the most common fractures in people with osteoporosis or low bone density. Though osteoporosis is considered the major reason behind such fractures, forms of metastatic tumors and extensive trauma such as an accident, a hard fall or a sports injury can also lead to such fractures.

The placement of such fractures that commonly happens to be the thoracic spine (middle portion of the spine), especially in its lower parts, makes the condition more complex as no plasters can be applied there. The patient with such fractures suffers from many issues such as sudden onset of back pain, limited spinal mobility making it difficult to walk or stand straight, eventual height loss, deformity and disability in many cases.


While non-surgical methods like medicines, exercise bracing and bed-rest are widely prevalent for curing VCFs, two newly evolved surgical methods: kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are becoming widely popular for treating complex cases where non-surgical methods fail to benefit. These methods have less seen very less post-surgery complications rates, as less as 2% and are proving to be reasons for significant pain release and rise in physical functioning of the patients.

Kyphoplasty signifies a technique in which a balloon like inflatable object (called the bone tamp) is first placed in the fracture to restore the height of the derogated vertebrae. This is followed by a percutaneous injection of bone cement direct on the fracture.

Vertebroplasty, on the other hand, is a process in which a direct percutaneous injection of bone cement is given on the vertebral fracture.

Both the techniques involve minimal invasion in the fractured area and so the name minimally invasive vertebral compression fracture repair techniques.
Among these two techniques, kyphoplasty is more popular than vertebroplasty, owing to the additional benefits of restoration of vertebral height of the latter. In 2011, the global market for kyphoplasty was worth USD 555.4 million.


The market for minimally invasive vertebral compression fracture repair, particularly by the virtue of Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty is hugely flourishing. It is estimated to reach a value of USD 2.82 billion in 2019 with a growth rate of 8.7% through the years 2013 to 2019. The value of this industry was about USD 1.58 billion in 2012, with US being the key player and developing economies such as China, Japan, India, Korea estimated as the potentially emerging markets.
