Market Overview

Jaw fracture is a common facial injury. Jaw fracture is also called mandibular fracture. Jaw fracture occurs when the mandible and temporal bone is damaged. Jaw fracture is the tenth most common fractured bone in the human body. Many surgical procedures are used to set a jaw fracture. Jaw fracture fixation devices are used to set the fracture, repositioned bone into the normal alignment. Jaw fracture fixation devices include the internal and external jaw fracture fixation devices.

These devices internal jaw fracture fixation devices include the implants such as screws, plates, wires or pins, nails. Internal jaw fracture fixation devices are made from titanium, stainless steel, cobalt, and chrome. External jaw fracture fixation devices are the frames used to stabilize the fractured bone into the proper position.

External jaw fracture fixation devices are used as a temporary treatment option for jaw fracture as they are easily applied. External jaw fracture fixation device provides temporary stability until the patient is not ready for surgery to fix the fracture.

Increasing incidence of jaw fracture due to road accidents are expected to drive the demand for jaw fracture fixation devices. Increasing cases of sports injuries such as wrestling and boxing are boosted the number of cases of jaw fracture, which expected to another major driving factor of jaw fracture fixation devices market.

Increasing awareness regarding the availability of advanced treatment options and surgeries will spur the demand for jaw fracture fixation devices. Increasing weakening of bones due to osteoporosis increase the risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is the leading cause of bone fracture.

According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fracture yearly all around the world. Increasing osteoporosis prevalence expected to contributes to the growth of the jaw fracture fixation devices market. However, the high cost of products for jaw fracture treatment hampers the growth of the jaw fracture fixation devices. Unfavorable reimbursement scenario in the developing economies may restraint the demand of the jaw fracture fixation devices.
