Bone fixation plates have been used for over a hundred years. Plates are internal fixations for fractures. Orthopedic plates in form of internal fixation are used in orthopedic surgeries to hold a damaged bone in place, allowing it to heal. Bone fixation plates are used after osteotomy, where the bone is surgically cut and allowed to realign.
These fixations require a minimum invasive procedure. They help stabilize the soft tissues and bones. Internal fixations leave fewer scars and prevent fracture blisters and skin pressure.
The bone fixation plates market is growing at a significant rate due to the increase in osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Increasing geriatric population, unhealthy lives style causing diseases associated with weakening of bones and joints, and high life expectancy, are expected to catalyze market growth in the coming years.
