Australia's orthopedic large joint replacement devices market is trending toward patient-specific implants, with an emphasis on women, according to Reportbuyer.
Here are three points:
1. The Internet is a driving force, as educated patients are more likely to choose implantation surgery and a specific implant brand.
2. Computer-guided systems have a small market share currently, as the systems still have problems providing accurate patient landmark data.
3. Alternative less-invasive therapies will serve as an obstacle to the implantation technology market's growth.
