MediPoint: Cervical Total Disc Replacement - Global Analysis and Market Forecasts
Summary
Symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD) is a degenerative condition of the spine that, in certain instances, can cause debilitating pain and neurological dysfunction. For the past fifty years, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) was the hallmark surgical intervention for this condition that provided excellent pain relief and outcomes in patients where more conservative therapies failed. However, as follow-up of patients who had undergone the procedure grew, surgeons discovered that similar symptomatic degeneration present at the treated level pre-operatively became evident, in the long term, at adjacent levels post-operatively. It was believed that the procedures fusion of adjacent vertebrae prompted the emergence of this adjacent-level disease. Cervical total disc replacements (C-TDR) were invented to replace the intervertebral disc as well as restore the lost motion.
Since the early 2000s, several devices have entered the international markets with a variety of design configurations, compositions, and indications. This report provides comprehensive analysis on the current and future performances of these competitors in nine major markets including the United States (US), the five major European markets, India, China, and Brazil. Additionally, the report provides actionable insights for existing or future competitors by identifying those unmet needs and opportunities that could transform them into a market leader.
