Tibial bearings are used when total knee replacement or surgery of knee is carried out. Need for tibial bearings replacement arises after painful and disabled knee joint resulting from various conditions such as different forms of arthritis, i.e., traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis involving one or more compartments.
Tibial bearings are used in conjunction with un-cemented or cemented trays either in primary or revision application of the bone cement. Sometimes wearing down of previously used tibial bearings also requires replacement by new tibial bearings.
Generally, in patients with any form of arthritis inflammation of joints occurs more rapidly, which leads to wearing down of bones. Knee joint inflammation due to arthritis and oxidation, i.e., wearing down of newly replaced tibial bearings after some years of replacement is common.
Prevalence of arthritis is increasing due to higher life expectancy, change in lifestyle leading to increased body mass index (Obesity), which is expected to drive the growth of tibial bearings market. Pain with disabled knee is more prevalent in geriatric population and worldwide prevalence of geriatric population is increasing, which consequently fuels the growth of the tibial bearings market.
As per the Pain Foundation, the prevalence of arthritis increases up to 80% in people over the age of 60. Increasing success rate of knee surgeries involving tibial bearings replacement is also expected to drive the growth of market.
As per a study, the survivorship of tibial bearings after the knee replacement operation is up to 10 to 15 years with success rate of 85 to 93%, driving the growth of tibial bearings market. Improving reimbursement scenario and treatment seeking rate of joint inflammation is also expected to drive the growth of the tibial bearings market.
