Fusion Still Holds Strong in Spine Surgery

The dominant area of technologies and products for the management of spine disorders (despite a myriad of new technology alternatives) remains, and will remain, the use of posterior pedicle screw fusion systems. This well established approach accounts for over over 20% of the total global sales of spine surgery products and will continue to grow (despite even more dramatic growth of other spine technologies) to nearly a quarter of all sales during the next ten years. Other areas of product and market development are growing at rates as high as 33% annually and as low as 4% annually.
