US Market Report for MIS Pedicle Screws 2017 - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US Market Report for MIS Pedicle Screws 2017 - MedCore" report to their offering.

Pedicle screws, plates and interbody devices are designed to stabilize the spine while it fuses and heals after a spinal fusion procedure. Traditionally, these devices have been implanted through open surgery from an anterior or posterior approach. However, a growing number of these devices are being implanted using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques. MIS is significantly less invasive than open surgical procedures, which can result in a lower intraoperative time and a more rapid recovery for the patient. As of 2012, two kinds of implantation systems were used for MIS procedures: percutaneous and retractor systems.

This includes minimally invasive pedicle screws that are implanted using retractor or percutaneous access systems. The majority of growth in the MIS pedicle screw market is a result of increased use of non-cannulated screws in minimally invasive PLIF procedures, as well as growth in the percutaneous cannulated screw market. Cannulated screw procedures are expected to increase rapidly over the forecast period because they can be implanted in percutaneous procedures using guidewires, unlike non-cannulated screws.

The major driving force behind growth in the MIS pedicle screw market is the perceived physiological benefits of minimally invasive surgery to the patient. These include reduced trauma, shorter hospital stays, lower post-operative medication use and quicker return to work. The MIS pedicle screw market is expected to increasingly cannibalize revenue from the traditional cervical and thoracolumbar fixation markets. The number of procedures will continue to experience a high rate of growth until as the market is highly driven by the MIS interbody fusion market.
