Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease that occurs most frequently in the hands, hips, and knees. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, around 30 million people in the U.S. are suffering from osteoarthritis.
Moreover, according to OECD, 10% of men and 18% of women worldwide aged over 60 years suffer from symptomatic injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus, which increases the risk of developing osteoarthritis later in their lives.
Recently, greater emphasis has been laid on the preservation of the meniscus for the prevention of osteoarthritis in young patients. Meniscus plays an important role in the integrity of the knee joint. Meniscus repair surgeries are playing a significant role in the prevention of osteoarthritis.
The need for meniscus repair surgeries for the prevention of osteoarthritis is expected to contribute to the demand for meniscus repair systems over the forecast period.
Meniscus tear is a common result of sports injuries. The athletic population is at a higher risk, especially those who participate in sports such as football, soccer, and basketball. In athletics, traumatic injuries to the knee are very common. Besides, diagnosis, the initial treatment for these injuries is very important. Meniscus tear is among the most commonly occurring injuries among young athletes.
Moreover, people engaged in regular physical activities, such as military persons, are also at a higher risk of musculoskeletal injuries such as meniscal tear. The number of sports injuries is increasing as youngsters are actively participating in sports. This factor is expected to propel the meniscus repair systems market in the near the future.
Manufacturers are focusing on the development of new technology-based meniscus repair systems, such as knotless and all-suture meniscus repair systems, to ensure ease during surgery.
The development of new technology-based systems is expected to drive the demand for meniscus repair systems. Recently, meniscus repair devices that complete an all-inside arthroscopic meniscus repair utilizing 100% suture and no pre-tied sliding knots on the articular surface of the meniscus have been developed. The elimination of knots minimizes potential intra-articular complications.
Some examples of meniscus repair systems using knotless technology include Zimmer Biomet’s MaxFire Meniscal Repair Device based on the Ziploop knotless technology and Arcuro Medical’s SuperBall knotless meniscus repair systems.
More than US$ 3 billion were spent on yearly healthcare costs due to Surgical-Site Infections (SSIs), with more than 150,000 new cases annually in the U.S. A large share of these costs can be attributed to the additional surgeries required for the treatment of infected patients, extended hospital stay, and readmissions.
Although meniscus repair involves a low-risk surgery, the risk of infection, nerve injury, knee stiffness, and excessive bleeding are likely to persist during and after the surgeries performed using meniscus repair systems. Thus, the risks associated with surgeries performed with the help of meniscus repair systems is a major factor that is expected to restrain the growth of the meniscus repair systems market.
Various techniques such as inside-out, outside-in, and all-inside, are used for meniscus repair. Among these, the all-inside meniscal repair technique is preferred by most of the clinicians as compared to other techniques due to lower complication rates and decreased morbidity as compared to other techniques.
All-inside-based meniscus repair systems and devices in the meniscus repair systems market are gaining popularity due to the several benefits associated with the all-inside technique.
Moreover, manufacturers are focusing on the launch of all-inside technique-based meniscus repair systems with new features. For example, in May 2018, Depuy Synthes launched the
Truespan meniscal repair system, an all-inside meniscal repair device. In August 2018, Ceterix Orthopedic launched the Novostich Pro meniscal repair system.
