Durability: Durability is the characteristic of a material or object referring to its long-lasting strength and
function.
Arthoplasty of the Hip: This is the process of reconstruction of joint surfaces in the hip by replacing the
femoral head and acetabulum with a plastic or metallic prosthesis.
Arthoplasty of the Knee: It is the reconstruction of joint surfaces in the knee by replacing the femoral
condyles and tibial plateau with a metallic or plastic prosthesis.
Unicompartmental Knee Arthoplasty: This process requires the removal of damaged parts, using
minimally invasive surgeries
Osteolysis: This is lysis of bone caused by disease, infection or inadequate blood supply.
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS): MIS is a surgical procedure carried out by allowing the surgical
equipment to enter the body through the skin or through a body cavity or anatomical opening, thus
allowing minimal damage to the body

P54D-54
For patients above the age of 55 to 60 years, secondary osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the
knee joint is the most common indication.
Fractures resulting from avascular necrosis (resulting in secondary arthritis) in patients aged above
60 years and traumatic fractures damaging acetabulum for the younger ones are the most common
indications for the hip joints that require replacement surgery. Total replacement is performed in
India only in case of avascular necrosis.
Tumor is one of the rare indications. In case of tumor, a surgeon needs to order an implant designed
according to the patients requirements.
Joint problems can be experienced even by young people. At present, several people aged below 40
years are suffering from arthritis due to fast-paced, sedentary city life.
24
During a replacement surgery, either an entire joint or a part of it is replaced with an artificial implant
known as prosthesis to improve and enhance the functioning of the joint.
Total Replacement Surgery
Total Replacement Surgery The surgical procedure to replace a joint entirely with an artificial
prosthesis is called as total replacement surgery. The total replacement prosthesis looks exactly like
the human body joint.
Two types of replacement surgeries can be performed based on the type of implant used, as
discussed below.
Cemented - In the total cemented replacement surgery, artificial implants
metal part is fixed on to bone by a type of epoxy cement called polymethyl
methacrylate (PMMA).
Cementless - The uncemented joint is a porous implant. After the surgery,
the bone is expected to grow into and through the pores in the implant,
thereby securing the implant.

The orthopedic prosthesis are made of different materials, mostly metal, plastic, and ceramic.
Selection of a material depends on its qualities such as strength (weight-bearing capacity),
biocompatibility, and wearing rate.
Metal on Plastic
This is one of the most commonly used types of prosthesis. In this prosthesis,
head and stem of a joint are made up of metal, while the cup is made of plastic.
The metals used include titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt chrome. The plastic
is cross-linked polyethylene. Such implants can be used for both cemented as
well as non-cemented replacement surgeries.
Metal on Metal
Both the bearing surfaces (the ball and cup component) on the metal-on-metal
prosthesis are made of metal. These implants are more resistant than the metalon-plastic ones. Despite the low wear rates, metal-on-metal implants will not last
longer. There are also concerns about the wear debris generated by these
implants
Ceramic on
Ceramic
Ceramic-on-ceramic implants have the lowest wearing rate and are scratch
resistant. These are also smoother than the metal-on-metal ones. Commonly
used ceramics are alumina or zirconia ceramics. These implants are designed to
be the most resistant among all available replacement implants. However, no
long-term data are available on how well these implants work over time.

Overview
According to international statistics, joint-related diseases account for about half of all chronic conditions
in people aged 60 years and more. Moreover, experts predict that the number of individuals aged above
50 years is expected to increase two-fold between 1990 and 2020, which will have a significant bearing
on the burden of orthopedic diseases.
It is estimated that more than 150.0 million Indians are suffering from joint-related problems. A study
done in 2005 revealed that 22 to 39 percent of the Indian population seems to suffer from painful
osteoarthritis, and about 50 percent of them feel that it has a significant impact on their life, work, and
finances1.
Despite this, orthopedic conditions do not receive the attention they deserve, both from the patient as
well as doctors. "The lack of attention by the medical profession, policy-makers and the media is due to
the perception that orthopedic diseases are less serious. Unlike cardiovascular disease, AIDS and
cancer, they are largely chronic, non-fatal conditions and tend to be seen as an inevitable consequence
of ageing says Professor Lars Lidgren, Department of Orthopedics, Lund University Hospital, Sweden
and Chairman of the International Steering Committee, Bone and Joint Decade.
Rise in aged population may be one of the reasons for increasing orthopedic diseases, but it is not the
only reason; an active lifestyle and high life expectancy also result in increased wear of joints.

Overview (Contd)
The advancements in the field of orthopedics treatment in India are in the same pace of that in other
developed countries. The latest techniques and equipment to handle this probable epidemic are also
available in India, and today/at present, world-renowned surgeons are practicing the latest surgery
techniques in our hometown/the country.
India is expected to be the forerunner in terms of research, treatment options, and revenue generation in
the orthopedic segment, in the time to come.
The orthopedics market in India has witnessed a major boon, mainly due to the increased spending
capacity of the Indian population.
On the surgical front, main revolution is minimal invasive approach aided by computer guided surgery,
which means less morbidity and lesser hospital stay for patients. Dr. Parag Sancheti, Medical Director,
Sancheti Institute of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, Pune, says The accuracy in surgery can be
increased by using computer navigation and longevity is increased by using better metals and
polyethylene for prosthesis. Minimally invasive techniques are being used to improve the surgery
outcome and also to enable the patient to return to work early.
There is a growing trend among patients and family members to seek alternate opinions and ask specific
product-related queries to their surgeons prior to decision-making. The task for orthopedic implant
suppliers and healthcare service providers is, therefore, to create awareness and make patient-surgeon
communication effective.

While the huge population base is the single largest driver of the
orthopedic joint replacement market in India, the underpenetrated
silver age population (aged less than 55 years) which constitutes 7 to
12 percent of the total population, represents the scope for growth in
the market. Indias growing economy is driving urbanization and
creating an expanding middle class, with more disposable income to
spend on healthcare. As a result, demand for improved health
services and surgical expertise has been growing rapidly in the
country.
Healthcare infrastructure in the metros and Tier I cities is rapidly
increasing, with major corporate hospital groups such as Sterling,
Apollo and Wockhardt among others, making significant investments
in setting up state-of-the-art hospitals in major cities which also
include orthopedic specialties.
Though the government has not taken sufficient steps to cater to the
huge population of arthritis needing joint replacements, the only
positive step is to help indigenous manufacture of consumables and
implants is the import duty waiver for manufacture of orthopedic
implants.

Technology, design, and type are the most important factors considered while selecting an implant. Some
implants are complicated, while the others are very easy to use. Hence, selection also depends on the
surgeons level of comfort with an implant. For instance, a cemented implant is not suitable for younger
patients, as the chances of cement wearing out are high. Hence, it is used mostly for older patients who
perform less activities. Uncemented implants can be easily replaced through the revision surgery; hence,
they are used for younger patients.
Cost of an Implant
Cost of an implant is the second-most important criterion according to surgeons. Adopting new technology
becomes difficult, especially when its cost is very high when compared to the existing one.
Uncemented implants are more expensive than the cemented ones, hence are preferred by medium to
high income group of patients. Though patients are less involved in the process of selecting an implant,
their affordability also determines the type of implants.
P54D-54
64
The next important factor is the patients need. Any implant is selected after the patients physical
examination based on the extent of damage caused to the bone and age. For example, uncemented
implants are selected depending on the bone strength of a patient. If the bones are strong, which is
mostly the case with younger patients, uncemented implant is preferred over the cemented one.
Product Delivery
Speedy product delivery is another criterion considered during selection. An implant is expected to be
delivered within 24 hours. Speedy delivery is important especially in trauma cases. A surgery in this case
is not planned, hence, an implant is expected to arrive as early as possible.
Durability of a Product
The quality of an implant is also considered while selecting an implant. Quality includes the grade of
material used and its finishing; the material used should wear less. A good-quality implant should have a
shelf life of 15 to 20 years.
Training Offered
Training for new technologies, in the form of live demo or whole model training, helps a surgeon to
become familiar with them. This, to some extent, influences the decision regarding the selection of an
implant. Some companies offer cadaver trainings abroad.
P54D-54
65
Previous experience with a vendor influences the decision of purchase of an implant. Most of the
surgeons become comfortable with an implant while being trained on its usage. For example, DePuy was
the first orthopedic implant company to be established in India. It trained many surgeons to use its
implants; hence, they are accustomed to them. This results in them being loyal to the company.
Brand Reputation
According to the surgeons (42.0 percent), brand reputation is a less important criteria when compared to
the other factors listed during the selection of an implant. Most of the companies provide references either
from a previous case study or a renowned surgeon or hospital.

Zimmer Acquired Chinese Orthopedic Implant Company Beijing Montagne Medical Device Co., Ltd.
In December 2010, Zimmer completed acquisition of Beijing Montagne Medical Device Co., Ltd. The
acquisition will provide an expanded product line in hips, knees, and powered surgical instruments
designed according to the Chinese market. This move is expected to provide Zimmer with an access
to additional research, development, and manufacturing capabilities in China.
P54D-54
In December 2010, Zimmer announced acquisition of Sodem Diffusion S.A., the manufacturer of
SoPlus Orthopaedic Surgical Power Tools based in Geneva, Switzerland. The company will be
renamed Zimmer Surgical, S.A., and will be a part of Zimmer Surgical, headquartered in Dover, Ohio.
Adding SoPlus's innovative small and large bone product lines to Zimmers portfolio is expected to
expand Zimmers offerings in the orthopedic power equipment market.
82
In early 2007, Zimmer acquired Endius Inc., which is a Massachusetts-based company and a
leading developer of minimally invasive instrument kits and associated implants for spinal fusion.
Endius Inc. is at present wholly owned by Zimmer. This acquisition has helped Zimmer to broaden
its product line by incorporating the minimally invasive technology, which has increased the
companys revenues in the growing spine replacement markets.
In November 2007, Zimmer acquired ORTHOsoft Inc, which is a developer of medical software,
instruments, and computerized systems. This acquisition added the FDA-approved, patented
navigation software solutions of ORTHOsoft Inc to Zimmers computer-assisted surgery (CAS)
product line. CAS has gained popularity in India, and this acquisition has helped Zimmer to hold a
stronger position in this segment.
P54D-54
In November 2009, Stryker completed its acquisition of OstiMed, which is a CAS softwaremanufacturing company. These software help surgeons to achieve better alignment during
replacements. This acquisition will allow Stryker to include CAS software in its product line as well
as enhance its existing knee joint replacement product line. It is likely to enhance Strykers growth,
as CAS is becoming popular in India.
83
In May 2010, Exactech announced acquisition of Brighton Partners, Inc., the sole source supplier of
the direct compression molded polyethylene bearings used exclusively in Exactechs flagship product,
the Optetrak knee replacement system. Direct compression molded polyethylene bearings are a key
component of Exactechs knee replacement system. By this acquisition, Exactech aims to protect this
proprietary technology, that represented more than $75.0 million of its total 2009 revenues.
In August 2010, Exactech announced acquisition of VertiFlex, Inc., a developer of minimally invasive
and motion preserving spinal surgery technologies. With this acquisition Exactech aims to tap the
spine industry with products implanted through a surgical approach designed to reduce the length of
hospital stays and shorten overall patient rehabilitation time.
P54D-54
In January 2008, Exactech announced acquisition of Altiva Corporation Orthopedics Altiva, which
offers a spinal fusion product line with implants and instrumentation that address major spinal
pathologies. Altiva has multiple development projects underway, most notably a collaboration with a
leading group of spinal surgeons focused on the rapidly emerging motion preservation market.
84
In April 2008, Exactech, Inc., announced the acquisition of the stock and assets of France Medica
SAS, a French importer and distributor of orthopedic products and surgical supplies. This is expected
to enable the establishment of a direct sales operation in France and strengthen its competitive
position, improve service to its customers in France and to grow its European business.
P54D-54
In 2009, Biomet (which develops solutions for knee disorders) acquired Cartilix, which develops
cartilage repair and regeneration solutions and products, including a proprietary cartilage
regeneration technology for the repair of knee cartilage (yet to be launched). This acquisition allowed
Biomet to increase its sports medicines portfolio.

Recommendations
Product Differentiation and Customization
Companies should align their products to cater to the demand of different sections of the society (such as
the very premium end, the mediocre and not so affordable class of population) as well as to a larger
section of the population. With fierce competition in the market compelling participants to bring down the
prices of implants, it can be difficult for the international companies to offer the products below a certain
price to realise the bottom line.
Reducing Manufacturing Costs
Products should be customized to meet the needs of Indian patients without compromising on the
quality. All these factors may call for bringing down the cost of manufacturing an implant in order to
realise the margin of profit. Therefore, with raw material cost being fixed, to reduce the overhead cost
of manufacturing, some companies are in process and a few are planning to open manufacturing
centres in countries such as China where labour cost is low.
P54D-54
Alternatively, another solution can be to seek joint venture agreements or acquisition of a local or
indigenous manufacturer, who meets the ISO/GMP/international standards. The global leaders will
require local market knowledge and distribution networks and will also be attracted by lower
manufacturing costs. Reduced price of implants could increase the reach to various classes and
sections of the population, thereby creating an opportunity for a wider customer base.
87
Recommendations (Contd)
Educating the Users
A large section of the population is either unaware of the problem and seriousness of jointrelated
diseases or is reluctant to undergo joint replacement surgery due to fear of surgery and the postsurgery
trauma.
There is a need to raise awareness of arthritis in all its forms among the medical community, arthritic
patients, and the general public. Increasing the awareness about the disease and educating patients on
the various treatment options available will significantly help in fighting this severe disabling disease as
well as will drive the orthopedic joint replacement market.
Conferences and meetings should be held were people suffering or even not suffering from arthritis are
invited to spread awareness/knowledge regarding arthritis, its prevention and management.
This is to ensure all people with arthritis and their caregivers are aware of the vast support network
available to them.
Operated patients with joint replacement should be made to interact with those affected with arthritis.
This builds confidence and positive attitude toward the treatment process. This can help millions of
patients who suffer acutely and lose hope of becoming well and enjoying life.
P54D-54
88
Recommendations (Contd)
Training Surgeons
About 800 850 orthopedic surgeons, who can perform replacement surgeries, serve the entire
population of India. This is because there is less opportunity for orthopedic training in India; most
surgeons go overseas to learn, and many of them do not return.
Surgeons need to be trained on the new products in the market. Most of the young and experienced
surgeons should be trained through seminars and conferences arranged by a company; live telecast of a
surgery and dry bone exercise could also be arranged.
The trainings should start right from the time the medical schools and should be a part off college
curriculum. For post graduate students, special courses should be offered. Level of these trainings can
vary at different orthopedic joint replacement centers.
Relationship with the surgeons forms a very important decision making criteria while purchasing an
implant. These trainings allow a manufacturer to interact with surgeons and change their perception about
a particular implant. Younger surgeons and post graduates should be awarded with special training.
P54D-54
89
Recommendations (Contd)
Promotional Activities and Advertising Channels
Updating the surgeons on the latest advancements frequently on the new technologies through
advertising channels such as journals, conferences, seminars, Webinars, medical newsletters, portals,
and so on, is necessary. This will help the companies to strengthen the relationship with the surgeons
who are one of the most important decision makers while purchasing an implant.
Conferences or seminars may allow a platform for surgeons to get their queries clarified such as success
rate, results, previous references, and so on. These activities may also help a company to change a
surgeons preference for a particular implant.
An implant is usually chosen by a surgeon according to the surgeons comfort, the requirement of a
surgery, and cost of the device.
Hospitals and surgeons prefer to buy implants from distributors. This provides them the advantage of
having to pay only for the used component. Distribution networks in India are extremely dense, layered,
and difficult to penetrate without connections and experience. Therefore, finding the right partner is
essential, and lack of due diligence can significantly affect the distribution process.

Conclusion
The total market for orthopedic joint replacement market in India was valued at $80.4 million. Of this, over
75 percent contribution was from knee replacement market, about 20 to 25 percent was from hip
replacement market and less than 5 percent of the total market revenues were contributed by shoulder and
ankle replacement market.
For the manufacturers of orthopedic implants, the Budget 2010-11 has proposed an exemption of specified
inputs for the manufacture of implants from import duty. These incentives will drive the already fastemerging medical devices and equipment sector in India.
India has one of the fastest growing medical devices market. In the coming years, healthcare may be the
largest user of technology and also the largest employer. The growth rate of the orthopedic implants is
estimated to be over 25 percent per annum at least for the next five to six years.
Growth of the Indian joint replacement market is likely to be driven by a combination of factors such as
increasing affordability of the middle class population with substantial disposable income, spreading word
of mouth on successful joint replacements, and opening up of the insurance sector, among others.
Currently, over 70,000 hip and knee replacements are performed every year. A significant percent of the
Indian population is either suffering from or susceptible to orthopedic joint ailments, requiring replacement
surgeries. With a large potential population requiring joint replacement and increase in awareness about
the impact of joint problems on the lives of patients and the importance of a surgical treatment approach to
cure it, the market for orthopedic implants is likely to become one of the most profitable segments in the
Indian medical device market.
