VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – March 28, 2017) – According to a new series of reports on the U.S. spinal implants and vertebral compression fracture market by iData Research (www.idataresearch.com), the motion preservation segment will be the fastest growing in the market fueled by the release of a vast array of new devices in already established markets, most notably the cervical (CAD) and lumbar artificial disc (LAD) markets. Procedure number growth, as well as favorable reimbursement policies is expected for these devices driven by positive clinical results involving novel and emerging technologies.

However, traditional fixation procedures will limit growth of the artificial disc market. The traditional cervical, thoracolumbar and interbody fixation and fusion markets are currently the gold standard for treatment of many indications that artificial discs address. These devices cost less than artificial discs, which can be a major preference factor for many doctors and patients.

“Traditional fusion markets are expected to show consistent growth rate but will eventually begin to stabilize in value over the next several years as motion preservation and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures become increasingly common,” explains Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. “As the U.S. spinal implant market grows in size, more competitors will enter the markets as well as existing competitors broadening their portfolios with new products including motion preservation implants.”
