Subtalar Joint Implants Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Material (Titanium, Polyethylene, Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Others), By Disease Indication (Flat Foot Deformities, Calcaneo-valgus Deformity, Talotarsal Joint Dislocation, Plantar Flexed Talus), By End User (Hospital, Speciality Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Flat foot is a common deformity in both adults and pediatrics. Flat foot can be congenital or due to tibial tendon dysfunction. Treatment for the pain associated with flat foot includes medications, exercises, orthotics, and others. But, these treatments fail to correct at the point of contact. Subtalar joint arthroereisis is a surgical procedure for the treatment of flat foot, talotarsal joint dislocation, and other foot conditions by the use of subtalar joints implants.

Subtalar joints are designed in a way to block the anterior and inferior displacement of the talus, thus helping in normal motion of the subtalar joint. The growing demand for subtalar joint implants has triggered research to make bioabsorbable and innovative subtalar implants. In December 2018, In2Bones introduced PitStop subtalar implant, an innovative “see-through” implant made of PEEK, for surgical correction of flat foot deformity in adults and pediatrics further boosting the market.

Growth in the global subtalar joint implants market is driven by the increase in the rate of early diagnosis and treatment of subtalar joint deformities, favorable health reimbursement, new product launch, and improving health infrastructure. The advancements in 3-D printing and modeling technologies are also anticipated to further fuel the market during the forecast period.

However, the implementation of stringent government regulations may hamper the growth witnessed in the global subtalar joint implants market.

Key Players Covered

Some of the major companies that are present in the global subtalar joint implants market are Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, OsteoMed, Wright Medical Group N.V., Integra LifeSciences Corporation., In2Bones Global, BioPro, Arthrex, Inc., Medsurge, GraMedica, and other players.

SEGMENTATION

In terms of material, titanium segment is expected to expand in the forecast period primarily due to the prominent use of titanium in the manufacturing of orthopedic implants as they offer high strength and are corrosion resistance.

Regional Analysis

North America is anticipated to dominate the global subtalar joint implants market during the forecast duration due to favorable health reimbursement and adoption of 3D modeling technology. According to the Illinois Podiatric Medical Association, about 19% of people in the United States, have an average of 1.4 foot problems each year, which is expected to surge the market in North America. In Europe and Asia Pacific, the subtalar joint implants market is projected to expand in the forecast period owing to the increased incidences of foot and ankle injuries and improving health reforms.
