Market Insights

Growing Advantages of Computer-Assisted Orthopedic Surgeries Drive Orthopedic Navigation Systems Market

According to an article titled "Computer-assisted preoperative planning of bone fracture fixation surgery" published in the National Library of Medicine in October 2022, bone fracture fixation surgery is known to be one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the orthopedic field. The source stated that computer-assisted surgical techniques have been developed in recent years. The techniques are helpful in the preoperative planning of bone fracture fixation operations.

Benefits of computer-assisted surgery (CAS) such as low blood loss, short hospital stays, and easy rehabilitation propel its demand. CAS is instrumental in precise alignment of the implant. It provides improved functionality, improves quality-adjusted lifespan, causes less pain and tissue damage, and can lead to fewer complications. Surgical navigation allows surgeons to develop detailed clinical plans for joint replacements and spinal procedures. The platforms provide computer-aided measurements from individual patients' preoperative computerized tomography (CT) scans to help surgeons provide personalized surgical care. Thus, advantages of computer-assisted orthopedic surgeries drive the orthopedic navigation systems market growth.

Future Trend

Rising Interest in Minimally Invasive Surgery to Emerge as Trend in Coming Years

In minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), use of computer-assisted navigation technology allows surgeons to better visualize bone and soft tissue anatomy through limited minimally invasive surgery (MIS) incisions. In addition, due to smaller incisions, postoperative wound healing takes longer in conventional surgeries than in MIS. Interest in MISS increases tremendously as its core principle is to minimize insertion-related injuries while achieving similar results to traditional open spine procedures. With technical and technological advances, MISS can expand its utility to simple spinal stenosis and complex spinal pathologies such as metastasis, trauma, or spinal deformity in adults.

In August 2023, Orthofix Medical Inc. announced the full commercial launch and successful completion of the first cases in the US with the 7D FLASH Navigation System Percutaneous Module 2.0. The system enables Orthofix to continue to operate MIS for the spine. Speed, accuracy, and efficiency of image processing technology are expected to provide significant economic added value and reduced radiation exposure for staff and patients in open procedures. This launch expands the clinical functionality and utility of the navigation system by providing surgeons with a fully integrated procedural solution for MIS, including implant planning and an expanded suite of navigated tools. The growing preference of patients and healthcare professionals for minimally invasive procedures that offer faster recovery times and reduced postoperative pain would support the adoption of orthopedic navigation systems. Thus, the rising adoption of orthopedic navigation systems in practice benefits patients and hospitals, which is expected to boost the orthopedic navigation system market growth in the coming years.

Technology-Based Insights

Based on technology, the orthopedic navigation systems market is segmented into electromagnetic, optical, and others. The electromagnetic segment held the largest market share in 2022 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 15.4% during 2022–2030. In electromagnetic tracking systems (EMTs), magnetic fields are generated, sensors are used to detect them, and finally, software is used to process them. In an electromagnetic field of known geometry, the coordinates of the pre-interventional patient scan and the coordinates of the tracking system are registered. By utilizing the sensor, the corresponding points in the image coordinates can be measured, and the electromagnetic tracking coordinates can plan about five to nine landmarks. EMTs utilize fluoroscopy to screen the patient without using ionizing radiation, and it does not expose the patient to any energy fields that are more harmful than ultrasounds.

In July 2021, TT Electronics—a provider of engineered electronics for performance-critical applications—partnered with US-based Radwave Technology to develop advanced electromagnetic tracking technology. This partnership will help bring a customizable electromagnetic tracking platform with minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic devices during orthopedic surgical procedures. In addition, Joimax, a Germany-based market leader in technologies and training methods for fully endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery, announced that the FDA cleared its Intracsem Navigation System, an electromagnetic navigation tracking and control system, in July 2020.

Application-Based Insights

Based on application, the global orthopedic navigation systems market is segregated into knee, hip, spine, and others. The knee segment held the largest market share in 2022. The hip segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 14.9% during 2022–2030. Surgery is required if the knee has structural damage. The most common knee surgeries include arthroscopy or knee replacement. Hip arthroplasty or hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which an orthopedist replaces the affected hip joint parts with new artificial parts. HipNav is an image-guided surgical navigation system used in hip replacement surgery. With this system, prosthetic components can be measured and guided during total hip replacement surgery (THR). The system consists of a 3-dimensional preoperative planner, a simulator, and an intraoperative surgical navigator.

According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, nearly one million knee and hip replacements are performed every year. An aging population and an increase in obesity and osteoarthritis will cause that number to rise to 4 million by 2050. Computer- and robot-assisted navigation is expected to continue to play an increasingly important role in helping patients' outcomes and lengthening the life of their implants as these procedures become increasingly common. DePuy Synthes offers a technology-assisted VELYS Hip Navigation platform for hip replacement. The surgeons use real-time data to improve surgical outcomes. Thus, the growing advancement in orthopedic surgery navigation systems boosts the growth of the global orthopedic navigation systems market for the hip segment.

End User-Based Insights

In terms of end user, the orthopedic navigation systems market is segmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and others. The hospital segment held the largest share of the market in 2022 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR of 14.8% in the market during 2022–2030.

Orthopedic navigation systems are routinely used in orthopedic surgeries to reach the target place more precisely. Hospitals are a vital part of the development of health systems.
