Market Forecasts

covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also
includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in total ankle replacement (TAR). The
success of third-generation implants in relieving arthritic pain and restoring range of motion has
poised TAR as an effective substitute to arthrodesis (joint fusion). Whereas, extensive bone
resection has plagued previous generations of devices, current products aim to minimize
resection of the tibial and talar bone to promote implant stability. Also, manufactures are
advancing preoperative evaluation techniques to achieve better alignment. Although ankle
trauma is not as common as other joints like the knee and hip, there is an increased utilization
TAR based on advanced implant designs and positive study results from long term viability
trials. This has resulted in major insurers revising coverage policies to support patient access to
TAR. As implant costs can comprise the largest portion of operating room supply cost in an
orthopaedic procedure, hospitals are taking steps to enlist the help of physicians in cost-cutting
measures.
