The global cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market is expected to gain prominence over the forecast period (2018–2023). It is estimated that the cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period of 2018–2023.
A ligament is a band of tissue that holds the bones together, keeping the knee stable. Primarily these ligaments are broadly classified into cruciate ligament and collateral ligament. Further, these are divided into four primary ligaments, namely, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL). The cruciate ligaments, i.e., the PCL and ACL are crossed ligaments that stabilize the joint while allowing a very large range of motion. Knee injuries are usually the most common musculoskeletal traumas among people, where the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is one of the utmost frequent occurring knee injuries. Surgical reconstruction is the standard gold treatment for treating knee injuries. Increasing incidences of sports-related injuries have become a leading cause of soft tissue injuries worldwide. Athletes are most likely to injure the ACLs disabling complete stretching of their legs. A type of surgery that involves reconstruction of the ligament is known as ACL reconstruction that lies in the center of one’s knee with a graft. As per an article published in PubMed (2017), approximately 200,000 ACL injuries are registered each year on an average in the U.S. Cruciate ligaments repair is also the fastest growing segment for the soft tissue repair market globally. Subsequently, it is most commonly treated upon the athletes as they are mostly affected by ACL injuries owing to sport-related activities.
Numerous other factors such as growing number of knee reconstruction surgeries, increase in aging population coupled with rising incidences of diseases related to age such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and increasing government assistance are continuously contributing to the growth of the global cruciate ligament diagnosis and treatment market.
