Arthroscopy is defined as the image of internal arrangement of a joint performed with the help of imaging instruments like endoscopes. It is a minimally invasive method used in diagnosing and treating different joint ailments like cartilage tear, osteoarthritis, ligament tear, rheumatoid arthritis and the surgical procedure for removing the fluid from the inflamed tissue joint. Arthroscopy is generally carried out on the shoulder joint and knee. However, other joints like ankle, wrist and hip joints can also be scrutinized and tested with the help of an arthroscopic method. The growing old age world population combined with a highlighted demand for minimally invasive methods has sparked the growth of arthroscopy devices market. Further, a surge in sport related injuries has produced a significant demand for arthroscopic methods. As per the CDC (Center for disease control and prevention), the athletes of high school account for two million sports injuries yearly in USA.
The main advantage of the arthroscopic method is short hospital stay, less post surgical complication and less time for recovery which attracts the patients and is helpful for the growth and expansion of arthroscopy devices market. Strict rules and regulations for arthroscopy equipments approval along with unfavorable compensation benefits in developed economies have adversely affected the expansion and growth of the arthroscopy devices industry in these geographical locations. Further, increase in disposable earnings and per capita incomes in developing nations has increased the faith of OEMs towards these geographical locations.
As per the American orthopedic society for sports medicine, usually about four million persons have undergone knee arthroscopies and about 1.399 million shoulder arthroscopies are carried out globally in an year. The arthroscopy devices market encompasses different equipments like arthroscopic camera shavers, implants, fluid management systems, display methods and power driven apparatus.
