Segments

Product and Material Innovation

By Type, the market is led by Long Gamma Nails (LGN), Trochanteric Femoral Nails (TFN), and Intertrochanteric/Subtrochanteric (ITST) nails. By Material, Titanium is increasingly preferred over Stainless Steel due to its superior biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties, which enhance patient comfort and safety.

Clinical Applications and End-Users

By Application, Femoral fractures represent a major market share, particularly due to the high incidence of hip fractures in the geriatric population. By End-User, Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers remain the primary hubs for these procedures, though specialty orthopedic clinics are seeing growth due to the rise in minimally invasive treatments.
