External Fixators Market, by Product Type (Manual Fixators and Computer-Assisted Fixators), by Fixation Type (Unilateral Fixator [Modular AO Type], Circular Fixators, and Hybrid), by Indication (Fractures with soft-tissue damage, Polytrauma—damage control surgery, Skeletal infection, and Corrective surgery (Limb Correction and Orthopedic Deformities)), by End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Orthopedic Clinics), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028

The external fixators are used in surgical procedures to immobilize the bones and to allow the bone fractures to heal. External fixators provide stability to the bones and soft tissues after serious ruptures in the soft tissues or bones. The bone external fixators are used to correct bone misalignment, protect soft tissue after bone injury, and to restore limb length. The external fixators also ensure the ideal compression, extension, or neutralization of bone placement while allowing movement of the nearby joints. They not only aid in setting the bones correctly but also help to minimize muscle atrophy and edema (the buildup of excess fluid) caused by the total immobilization of a limb.
Market Dynamics
The increasing incidence of fractures globally is expected to augment the growth of global external fixator market. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine report from December 2020, the incidence of fractures were approximately 1,229 fractures per 100,000 individuals in 2020 in the U.S. According to the same source, the incidence of bone fractures depending on the location of the bones is given below:
Fracture Men: n/100,000 Women: n/100,000
Distal Radius 108.2 292.4
Proximal femur 123.2 237.1
Ankle 100.3 152.5
Proximal humerus 59.2 142.5
Metacarpal 125.6 52.7
Moreover, key players providing reimbursements for the external fixators with various government insurance policies such as Medicare in U.S., is expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
For instance, In 2021, DePuy Synthes, a medical device company stated that their products such as MAXFRAME Multi-Axial Correction System, is reimbursed by the Medicare in United states. The reimbursement for application of uniplanar and external fixation device in hospital outpatients and ambulatory surgical centers is as follows-
CPT CODE DESCRIPTION HOSPITAL OUT-PATIENT AMBULATORY SURGICAL CENTERS
20690 Application of a uniplanar, (pins or wires in one plane) unilateral, external fixation device $6,265 $4,194
