China Spinal Surgery Devices Market Trends

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure used to restore joint function. The joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones. Arthroplasty, also known as total disc replacement, is a minimally invasive spine surgery used to treat damaged and degenerated spinal discs. At the time of the procedure, the degenerated disc is removed and replaced with an artificial disc. Many factors can lead to disc degeneration that requires surgical repair such as age, traumatic accidents, normal tear, and wear, and genetics.

The increasing cases of spinal disorders and accident cases are the major drivers of the segment's growth. For instance, according to an article published by Zhi-Meng Wang, Peng Zou, and Jun-Song Yang in 2020, the primary cause of spinal cord injuries in the country is 47.75% from low falls, 37.31% from high falls, followed by traffic accidents with 8.98%. Furthermore, increasing cases of traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) in China is also influencing the segment growth. For instance, according to the study titled, "Epidemiological features of traumatic spinal cord injury in Guangdong Province, China" published in March 2020, traumatic spinal cord injury is considered to be the second cause after traumatic brain injury in terms of morbidity and disability in China. It also stated that the number of traumatic spinal cord injury patients is extimated to be quiet large and also demonstrated a rising trend. Therefore, such instances, indicate that the segment is anticipated to witness considerable growth over the forecast period.
