Orthopedic Replacement Report
What do you need to know for your business to stay as flexible as a wrist replacement?
Demand for wrist replacement is coming from an ageing population which increasingly suffers from osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and post-traumatic arthritis.
Use of wrist replacement implants is shifting towards greater uptake in OA and post-traumatic arthritis patients rather RA patients. There is a usage decline in RA patients as the use of biologic disease-modifying drugs rises.

The future wrist replacement patient pool will be largely comprise the increasing number of arthritis patients and wrist fracture cases that accompany an ageing global population.
Small joint arthritis i.e. wrist, occurs far less often than hip or knee joint arthritis but can cause physical impairments for patients with extremity arthritis equivalent to those with large joint arthritis. These impairments can radically impact upon a person’s ability to lead a normal life and engage in daily task, work and recreational activities.
In terms of overall wrist replacement market growth the model discusses and provides data on increasing prevalence of wrist OA, RA, and post-traumatic arthritis. There are some barriers to this growth however – procedure volumes are expected to remain low and there is competition from pharmaceutical treatments.
