Healthcare Market Research analysts anticipate all minimally invasive spine implant segments will see continuous growth in the coming years.
Here are five insights:
1. While predicted to see rapid growth, the spine implants market is recognized as one of the most controversial segments within orthopedics.
2. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery methods and techniques have been used in facet fixation and spinal process fixation.
3. A key driver in the minimally invasive spine implants success is the aging population. Market analysts found a majority of spine implant procedures are performed on individuals over the age of 60 years.
4. The complexity of procedures and necessary training are the biggest challenges to the market. Additionally, older orthopedic surgeons can be reluctant to perform minimally invasive surgeries.
5. The oblique and lateral lumbar approaches are anticipated to see the most growth compared to posterior and transforaminal lumbar surgeries.
