Reconstructive Surgery

The global reconstructive implant market is one of the most established orthopedic markets. It consists of large-joint replacement implants for the hip and knee, along with upper- and lower-extremity implants for the shoulder, digit, elbow, ankle, and wrist. Although joint replacement procedures are typically performed on the elderly or those suffering from degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, innovations in implant design that cater to younger, more physically active patients are contributing to the expansion of overall reconstructive implant procedure volumes.
