Bone Cement Market Analysis | Europe | 2018-2024 | MedCore
Microscopically, the structure of hardened bone cement is similar to honeycomb, which gives it the ability to absorb loads under compression. Therefore, although it appears strong and hard, bone cement plays a role in dampening shock that is transmitted from the implant through to the bone. Typically, one package of bone cement contains 40 grams of bone cement material; this report considers one unit to be a 40 gram package of bone cement.

Reconstructive implants are grouped into four broad categories: primary (total) replacement, partial replacement, resurfacing and revision.
Total joint replacement (TJR) involves replacing both sides of the natural joint. These devices are the most frequently used reconstructive procedures in the United States.
Partial joint replacements restore one side or a portion of the joint. These procedures have the advantage of preserving more bone and soft tissue but have historically been prone to a higher complication rate than total joint replacements. Partial replacement, also known as hemiarthroplasty, provides an alternative to joint fixation, or arthrodesis, in some instances of skeletal trauma.
Joint resurfacing attempts to preserve as much of the original bone stock as possible by placing a cap over the diseased joint surfaces. The cap is anchored by a short stem within the bone. These procedures are performed more frequently in younger patients, as the preservation of bone stock allows for better outcomes when the implant is eventually replaced later in life.
Revision implants are not a specific product type but refer to the replacement of implanted devices that have either reached the end of their useable lifespan or have become loosened through trauma or pathology. This may entail either the replacement of part of the implant or the entire implant. In general, revision implants require longer stems to anchor in the bone. Conservative estimates indicate that 15 years is an appropriate lifespan to expect from an implant regardless of its construction or method of fixation; however, newer devices are likely to exceed that time frame.
If anything, the trend towards younger patients has meant that the market has been even more mindful of preparing for the eventuality of revision because of the increased average lifespan for these surgical candidates.
Implants are subject to their own wear issues. Regardless of the type of construction, there are some basic safety concerns. Like the cartilage that it replaces, the articulating material is subject to wear. The concern remains with debris generation. While the material itself is inert, the bodys immune response to stray fragments creates the potential for osteolysis, the destruction of bone. There are similar concerns with devices using hard-on-hard articulating surfaces, as early ceramic materials were prone to chipping.

This is a global physcian survey regarding end-user attitudes and perceptions toward spinal fixation, vertebral compression fracture, and minimally invasive devices. Reponses were collected in person, from international specialists in attendance at the 2017 North American Spine Society (NASS) meeting.

Various research studies have shown that shape memory staples are capable of achieving consistent compression across the fusion site with significantly greater maximum force when compared with mechanical compression staples. In fact, mechanical compression staples cause a distractive force that may hinder proper fracture recovery. For this reason, shape memory staples, having properties to sustain sufficient energy for bone fusion, are becoming more accepted by surgeons as the standard of care.

The elbow naturally operates as a hinge joint, with the majority of the natural range of motion occurring on one plane, although it also includes a rotational component. The joint involves the articulation of three bones: the humerus, the radius and the ulna. The articulation of the head of the radius on the ulna allows for forearm pronation and supination, resulting in the ability to rotate the wrist.
more...External Fixation Market Analysis | United States | 2017-2023 | MedCore
An external fixator acts as a stabilizing frame to hold the broken bones in proper position. In an external fixator, metal pins or screws are placed into the bone through small incisions into the skin and muscle. The pins and screws are attached to a bar outside the skin. Because pins are inserted into bone, external fixators differ from casts and splints which rely solely on external support.

Studies have shown that over 80% of the population will suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lives. A majority of these cases can be attributed to two main causes: general factors, such as muscle strain, injury and overuse; and specific spine conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease (DDD), spondylolisthesis or spinal stenosis. Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction was once thought to be a less common cause for lower back pain. However, recent studies have shown that SI joint dysfunction (SIJD) may be responsible for up to 30% to 35% of lower back pain.
