Analysis of the Hip Implants Market

Additional Information

Report Excerpt

This research service evaluates the hip implants segment of the joint implants market in the United States (this study does not include other joint implants).

Hip implants are devices used in hip replacement surgery. Hip replacement surgeries are also referred to as hip arthroplasty in the industry.

The hip joint has the design of a ball-and-socket joint: the spherical head of the femur bone moves inside the cup-shaped hollow acetabulum socket of the pelvis. The hip implant mimics this mechanism.

The hip implant comprises three parts: the stem, the ball, and the cup.

The stem fits into the femur with the ball of the implant replacing the femur head.

The cup holds the ball in place and facilitates movement.

To fit different anatomies, hip implants are manufactured in different sizes.

The time frame covered is from 2008 to 2016, with 2011 as the base year.

Content includes products on the market, products in development, and procedure, price, and revenue forecasts. Market challenges, drivers, and restraints are identified and assessed.

Units used in the study:

Procedures: This indicates the number of patients who were discharged from U.S. hospitals for procedures involving hip implants.

Prices: Represented in U.S. dollars. The price is represented as average selling price (ASP) based on prices of various hip implants listed by respective manufacturers.

Revenue: Represented in U.S. dollars. Revenue is a product of the number of procedures for the year and ASP for the respective year.

Annual revenue for public companies was derived from annual reports. Revenue for private companies was based on primary interviews.
