Market Overview

The global orthopaedic digit implants market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $265.00 Million in 2023 and is poised to reach $463.15 Million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.4%from 2024 to 2032.

The orthopaedic digit implants market pertains to the medical device industry, concerned with the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of implants with the use of repairing or replacing any damaged bones, joints, or soft tissues within the fingers and toes. Such an implant is mainly used after trauma, deformity, degenerative diseases like arthritis, or at birth. The orthopaedic digit implants are done to rehabilitate the patient's functionality, in addition to alleviating pain and improving a patient's lifestyle regarding impairments associated with their digits. These implants can be composed of metals, polymers, ceramics, or any combination of these materials, and often are applied in conjunction with a surgery such as arthroplasty, which is the replacement of a joint, or reconstructive surgery.

High incidence of degenerative joint conditions: This is a condition whose proportion is growing, whereby the people are suffering from various joint degeneration conditions, especially osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis which in general lead to joint deterioration in the hands and feet. Greater demography, in particular, tends to have these problems thus increasing the potential market for orthopaedic digit implants. Other traumatizing injuries from accidents, sport injuries, or occupational hazards whose results are fractures or damages to joints drive the market, as reconstruction and rehabilitation often require a lot of implants.

Advancements in technology influence the growth of the market. Improvements in biocompatible material such as advanced metals and polymers in implants make them more durable and functional, implying less resistance when used, and it tends to cause fewer rejection cases. The other factor is that minimally invasive surgical techniques diminish recovery times and produce good results for patients and, therefore encourage more people to seek implant procedures. Customization and 3D printing technology allow for personalized implants, therefore offering patients better anatomical fits and treatments.

While such growth holds great promise for the market, it is not without its challenges: surgeries cost a pretty penny, and post-operative care certainly does too, especially in areas where healthcare is not as easily accessible. Additionally, though rarely, complications with infections or implant failure are deterrents to market adoption. Regulatory problems and stringent clearances required for new devices increase the barriers of market entry.

However, orthopaedic digit implants market will grow only because of the increasing awareness of the treatment options and improved health care infrastructure in developing regions. The concern for the quality of life of the patient suffering from various conditions to do with digit will also drive the growth of this market.

Key Findings

Market Dynamics - Market Drivers

• Rising Prevalence of Arthritis and Joint Degeneration

The rising cases of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are one of the main drivers behind the orthopaedic digit implants market. Both these chronic, degenerative diseases cause inflammation, pain, swelling, and a tremendous loss of mobility, specifically of the small joints inside the hands and feet. Eventually, the damage done to the joint threatens severe deformity and makes removal of its function unavoidable. Often, it is thus necessary to involve surgery in order to repair or replace the impaired joints.

Osteoarthritis occurs due to wear and tear of the joints, whereas in rheumatoid arthritis, the condition is an autoimmune condition mainly concerning the linings of the joint. Both afflictions are very prevalent among aged persons, and given the aging trend of the world population, especially in developed regions, the burden of joint-related arthritis worldwide is growing. Consequentially, the need for orthopaedic digit implants has skyrocketed as it is indispensable to the restoring of joint function and relieving of pain and morbidity in the lives of the advanced joint degenerates patients.

Key Findings

• In February 2024, AddUp, an additive manufacturing company that produces metal components, partnered with Anatomic Implants, a medical device firm, to submit a 510(k) application for the first-ever 3D-printed toe joint replacement. The first firm to receive a patent is Anatomic Implants, which uses 3D printing technology with titanium to create the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint replacement that closely resembles human anatomy.
• Smith+Nephew introduced the REGENTEN bioinductive implant in July 2023 in response to the rising demand for implants among Indian patients requiring rotator cuff repair.

Market Opportunities

• Rising Demand for Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgeries

The most significant forces that will drive this trend toward outpatient surgeries are cost-effective health solutions and reduced stays in hospitals; these, in turn, significantly influence orthopaedic digit implants. Advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques and technologies have made it possible for many digit implant procedures to be less complex and safer, ensuring that it can now be done as an outpatient or in an ambulatory setting. These developments permit the patients to be returned home the same day, minimizing on the costs incurred in healthcare while reducing hospital-acquired infections and raising patient comfort.

Outpatient surgeries are also more accessible to a broader patient population and are more appealing in areas that have fewer facilities of hospitals or where the health authorities have over-stretched resources. Additionally, permitting the services of digit implant surgeries in outpatient clinics or ambulatory surgical centres makes treatment choices more flexible and affordable, which will motivate the adoption of those procedures. This is expected to propel further growth in markets as such, in the interest of efficiency and patient convenience with uncompromising quality.

Key Findings

• The FDA approved BioPoly LLC's Great Toe Implant in May 2021, marking the first time the BioPoly technology was made available in the United States.
• The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Accufix Surgical's Accu-Joint Hemi Implant in March 2021. This implant is a hemi-arthroplasty metatarsal head or phalangeal base implant intended for the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. Its goal is to precisely and functionally replace arthritic toe joints while maintaining the natural anatomical bone structure.

Market Restraining Factors

• High Cost of Implant Procedures

Many orthopaedic digit implant surgeries are cost prohibitive in several ways, including the cost of the implant and hospital costs: cost of surgical procedures and postoperative costs associated with rehabilitation, follow-up visits, among others. These all add up to substantial amounts of money expended from such a surgery and are, therefore, a burden to the patient, especially in regions where health insurance cover is minimal or countries whose healthcare facilities are less developed. In such areas, the lack of infrastructure and healthcare resources can limit the accessibility of such services to more vulnerable populations.

This leads to out-of-pocket expenditure that proves to be way too expensive for most patients, especially in the lower-income regions: hence, despite such evident obvious benefits of increased mobility and improvement in the quality of life, most patients become resistant to treatment. The significant economic barrier will therefore represent a limitation in the adoption of orthopaedic digit implants, considering the fact that cost-expensive surgery would deter several people from the urgency of surgery and forego it. The restraint primarily affects markets in emerging economies.

Segmentation Analysis

The market scope is segmented because of by Implant Type, by Material, by Application, by End User.

By Implant Type

Based on the Implant Type of the market is segmented into Silicone Implants, Metal Implants, Pyro carbon Implants.

Orthopaedic digit implants utilize silicone because of the availability of certain distinctive properties such as flexibility, biocompatibility, and durability. Especially, among all the tissues that replace a joint, silicone is recommended for surgeries due to the presence of flexibility in the form of an ideal makeup which is significantly suitable for patients suffering from arthritis or traumatic injuries. The flexibility makes it better for fingers and toes and generally improves outcome and patient satisfaction.

The strength and robustness in metal implants, mainly made from stainless steel and titanium, are known to be very strong and robust. These implants are usually deployed in more severe applications where the support is supposed to be sizeable, like in the case of major joint degradation or after serious fractures. Metal implants ensure durability; it will last longer and be very stable, so it is always a good choice for challenging surgical cases.

The pyro carbon implants then are part of a new development in the history of implant technology. Since the surface of the pyro carbon is smooth, it does indeed reduce the friction, which encourages more or less natural motion and functionality. Pyro carbon also has excellent biocompatibility, thus making it a potential material for patients who require digit implants, especially for those who would feel discomfort with traditional materials.

By Material

Based on the Material of the market is segmented into Metals, Polymers, Ceramics.

In orthopaedic digit implants, metals such as titanium and stainless steel are often used due to the fantastic strength and robustness that they possess. With its most notably light weight and also remarkable biocompatibility, titanium provides robust support in any surgical application, which makes it increasingly crucial to patient needs requiring a long-term solution for joint replacement or repair. Another alternative which is also reliable is stainless steel. This can offer tensile strength as well as resistance to wear since the sustainability of the implants depends mostly on it.

Polymers, and specifically silicone, are more favourable because of their inherent flexibility, which is the most critical characteristic in the attempt to regain the range of motion for the digits. The soft and malleable property of silicone enables a more natural movement and improves the overall functionality of the impaired joints within patients, enhancing comfort during recovery.

Ceramics are also used in orthopaedics, mainly for their high biocompatibility and their high wear resistance. Although rare for digit able implants, ceramic materials can offer one further possibility for special cases especially when one desires the highest wear resistance, thereby contributing to the overall spectrum of materialistic possibilities for digit implants.
