The Cementless Neck Stems Market to Witness Substantial Growth in the Asia Pacific
Cementless stems are porous or coated implants used in hip replacement. Cementless stems are best classified according to the specific stem geometry. With each unique geometric design comes a distinct set of potential complications. Cementless stems help reduce complications associated with total hip replacement, such as loosening of the prosthesis and the chances of infection. Moreover, cementless neck stems are designed to preserve the natural nutrition of the femoral bone and facilitate rehabilitation by allowing unrestricted blood flow. Different types of cementless stems are available on the market, such as porous plus HA, HA-coated, porous-coated, and grit blasted.
Growth of the cementless neck stems market is mainly driven
by the increasing number hip replacements around the world. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year, around 332,000 total
hip replacements are performed in the United States. In 2017, Belgium,
Luxembourg, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany were among the countries
with the highest rates for hip and knee replacement. The total hip replacement
is also referred to as total hip arthroplasty/hip resurfacing. Total hip
arthroplasty is one of the most cost-effective and consistently successful
surgeries performed in orthopedics. It provides reliable outcomes for patients
suffering from end-stage degenerative hip osteoarthritis.
Hip replacement is categorized into four segments, such as revision
hip implants, partial hip reconstruction, primary hip reconstruction, and hip
resurfacing. Among all procedures, the percentage of neck stems procedures is
high, and thus, it is expected to grow year-on-year, driving the cementless
neck stems market growth. In the recent past, the cementless method had taken
over much of the cemented hip implant, reaching over 50% of procedures
performed. Despite the common perception that total hip replacements last about
ten years, researchers have found that the devices are extremely durable, even
20 years after surgery.
Moreover, the prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing
gradually and has become an economic burden for many countries around the
world. Furthermore, with growing geriatric population, the number of hip
replacement procedures are also increasing. According to the United Nations, by
2050, around 20% of the world’s population will be over 60 years of age. Of
which, around 130 million (15% of population) people are expected to suffer
from symptomatic osteoarthritis. The aforementioned factors are also
responsible to accelerate the cementless neck stems market growth. Furthermore,
the cementless neck stems market is witnessing robust growth, in Asia Pacific,
due to the increasing population of people aged 20 to 65 years in the region.
