One of the major factors driving the trauma fixation devices market is the rising geriatric population across the globe. Improving healthcare facilities and disposable incomes have been key factors in improving the quality of life and life expectancy in general. The elderly population is susceptible to numerous bone-related disorders and degenerative bone diseases.

As per the aforementioned source, the pooled global incidence of knee OA was 203 per 10,000 person-years in individuals aged 20 and over.
