Campaigns maintain growth in spinal fusion surgery market
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, May 26, 2006
Strong marketing efforts by leading manufacturers and surgeon demand for less invasive surgeries will help maintain growth for the minimally invasive spinal (MIS) fusion surgery market over the next five years, according to a report by the Toronto, Ontario-based Millennium Research Group (MRG).
In its report, MRG defines MIS spinal fusion as an instrumented fusion procedure in which special instruments are used to minimize the amount of soft tissue damage and muscle retraction. The spinal fusion market was valued at approximately $200 million in 2005, according to a media release from MRG.
