Cruciate Ligament Diagnosis Treatment

Global Cruciate Ligament Diagnosis & Treatment Market Overview

Cruciate Ligament Diagnosis & Treatment Market Size was valued at USD 5.83 Billion in 2023. The Global Cruciate Ligament Diagnosis & Treatment industry is projected to grow from USD 6.32 Billion in 2024 to USD 9.63 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.82% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

A ligament is a band of tissue that holds the bones together, keeping the knee stable. Primarily these ligaments are broadly classified into cruciate ligament and collateral ligament. Further, these are divided into four primary ligaments, namely, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL).  The cruciate ligaments, i.e., the PCL and ACL are crossed ligaments that stabilize the joint while allowing a very large range of motion. Knee injuries are usually the most common musculoskeletal traumas among people, where the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is one of the utmost frequent occurring knee injuries.  Surgical reconstruction is the standard gold treatment for treating knee injuries. Increasing incidences of sports-related injuries have become a leading cause of soft tissue injuries worldwide. Athletes are most likely to injure the ACLs disabling complete stretching of their legs. A type of surgery that involves reconstruction of the ligament is known as ACL reconstruction that lies in the center of one’s knee with a graft.  As per an article published in PubMed (2017), approximately 200,000 ACL injuries are registered each year on an average in the U.S. Cruciate ligaments repair is also the fastest growing segment for the soft tissue repair market globally. Subsequently, it is most commonly treated upon the athletes as they are mostly affected by ACL injuries owing to sport-related activities.

Numerous other factors such as growing number of knee reconstruction surgeries, increase in aging population coupled with rising incidences of diseases related to age such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and increasing government assistance are continuously contributing to the growth of the cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market.

Despite these drivers, there are some issues associated with the cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market. The complications associated with the treatment, lack of skilled or trained physicians, and poor healthcare system in low and middle-income countries may hamper the growth of the market.

The cruciate ligaments are a pair of ligaments in the knee that link the tibia to the femur via a crisscross pattern. The market is expanding rapidly because of the increased incidence of knee injuries among athletes and the rising preference for less intrusive treatment options.

One of the most often injured joints is the knee, especially in physically active people like sportsmen. Increasing numbers of knee operations are being done worldwide as a direct result of the rising incidence of sports-related injuries among athletes. The rising incidence of knee injuries necessitating surgical repair of the cruciate ligament is a key factor driving the market's expansion. There are two cruciate ligaments in the knee, one in the front and one in the rear.

The market for cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment has expanded as the number of individuals engaging in sports has increased. Injuries to the posterior cruciate ligament prevent full extension of the affected athlete's leg, frequently necessitating reconstructive surgery. The prevalence of age-related disorders including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is on the rise, which in turn contributes to the expansion of the cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market.

News:

The Bridge Registry Post-Market Study of the company's Bridge-Enhanced ACL Restoration (BEAR®) Implant for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears will begin in May 2023, according to Miach Orthopaedics, Inc., a privately held company focused on developing bio-engineered surgical implants for connective tissue restoration. Up to 750 patients at up to 30 sites in the United States will be enrolled in the Bridge Registry (NCT05398341) to evaluate real-world evidence of the BEAR Implant. At two years, we will test knee function and feeling using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation, and at one year, we will quantify knee laxity using the Lachman scoring system.

Regional Market Summary

Cruciate Ligament Diagnosis & Treatment Market, by Region Market Share, 2017 (%)

 

Source: MRFR Analysis

The Americas dominates the cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market owing to the rising prevalence of osteoarthritis among the elderly population, well-developed surgical technology, high healthcare expenditure, and the presence of the leading players.

This market is attracting many key participants such as Stryker Corporation; Zimmer Biomet; DePuySynthes, Inc., Arthrex, Inc.; Smith & Nephew plc; and CONMED Corporation. For instance, Smith & Nephew acquired the diversified product portfolio for orthopedic soft tissue repair from ArthroCare Corporation further strengthening the position of the company in the global market.

Europe holds the second position in the cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market. It is expected that the rising contribution towards research and development for the development of surgical implants and increasing competition among marketers for drug launch are likely to drive the European cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market. For instance, in May 2017 Ablynx, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Belgium, announced the completion of a preclinical package for a novel nanobody, ALX-1141 for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Merck will now be responsible for the further clinical development of the molecule.

Asia Pacific is the fastest growing cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market owing to a huge patient pool, increasing demand for treatments, and rising healthcare expenditure. For instance, in July 2017, Kolon Pharmaceutical got the approval for the World's first cell and gene therapy for knee osteoarthritis in Korea. Thus, all these factors are cumulatively responsible for the growth in this region.

The Middle East and Africa holds the lowest share of the global cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market due to low development, lack of technical knowledge, and poor medical facilities.
