Small Joint Replacement Market Segmented By ankle replacement, digits replacement, elbow replacement and wrist replacement product type in hospitals and outpatient centers
Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis are the common joint disorders, which are affecting millions of people globally. Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become porous and thin, and are more likely to break. The common sites of osteoporotic fracture are the spine fracture, wrist, hip and shoulder. Osteoporosis can occur at any age and can severely affect both men and women. Over 80% of all fractures in people aged 50 and above are due to osteoporosis. Globally, there are more than 8.9 million fracture cases due to osteoporosis.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, it is estimated that around 30.8 million adults have osteoarthritis. It is expected to be the most common cause of disability in adults. In the U.S., the annual incidence of osteoporosis is found to be around 1.5 million and the incidence of hip fracture is recorded to be twice of that. Similarly, in Canada, ~10% of population aged above 40 years are diagnosed with osteoporosis and around 21% are expected to have bone fracture in the arm, wrists, pine, and hip. Thus, the increasing incidence of orthopedic disease is expected to support the demand for small joint replacement and drive the growth of the global small joint replacement market.

A shift in orthopedic treatment from the conventional invasive procedures to minimally invasive surgeries has been observed in the past few years. Development of advanced implants and materials that are long-lasting are expected to drive the growth of the global small joint replacement market. Traditional and conventional surgeries have a number of limitations such as prolonged recovery time, high risk of infection, and expensive procedures. Minimally invasive surgeries or procedures in small joint replacements such as ankle replacement overcome such limitations.
Minimally invasive surgeries or procedures involve insertion of the tested and reliable implants through a small incision using surgical approaches. These surgeries are of low cost and have faster recovery time. Advancements in technologies, materials, and designs have led to greater durability of about 25-30 years as compared to other conventional orthopedic implants. This transformation is expected to have positive impact on growth of the global small joint replacement market. Number of small joint replacement surgeries is expected to increase, due to their benefits.

Get a Customized VersionFavorable reimbursements for small joint replacement are projected to support the growth of the small joint replacement market as the adoption of the procedure is consequently expected to increase. Prior to October 2017, the reimbursement for total ankle replacement a type of small joint replacement was US$ 12,326 under the MS-DRG 470.
However, due to factors such as risk of being bundled into the Medicare payment system and associated costs with revision of total ankle arthroplasty procedures, the loss to the hospitals could not be recovered. This resulted in redesignate total ankle arthroplasty by the CMS in MS-DRG 469, which drastically (~55%) increased the Medicare hospital reimbursement to US$ 19,296 in 2018. Replacement of elbow joint with synthetic substitute is covered under the MS-DRG 483 with a reimbursement value of US$ 14246.3.
Increased awareness regarding reconstructive procedures is expected to support the demand for small joint replacement. The demand primarily is from Singapore, India, China, and South Korea and other similar countries. Advanced emergency room procedures coupled with increased affordability are some of the factors contributing towards increased demand for better quality procedures. In the recent past, out-patient surgeries are preferred for cover by insurance payers that offer reimbursement for medical services. Furthermore, out-patient surgeries do not require overnight or prolonged hospital stay.
