DIRECT ANTERIOR APPROACH MARKET OVERVIEW

Global direct anterior approach market size was USD 2.99 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 7.92 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. North America is dominating the direct anterior approach market share in 2025.

The direct anterior approach is a less intrusive technique for performing total hip replacement, and the doctors who use it claim it has benefits over more conventional methods. For instance, the straight anterior approach requires a far smaller incision than the conventional technique, which can be up to 12 inches long. Additionally, healing from surgery is typically speedier. Patients often experience less pain, are able to complete therapy milestones more quickly following the surgery, and can go home quickly than with alternative methods.

The frequency of osteoarthritis is expected to increase, leading to an increase in direct anterior approach surgeries, which is expected to spur market expansion. It is also anticipated that the aging population and increasing patient awareness of these procedures will promote market expansion. Positive health reimbursement regulations are also responsible for the market's expansion. To offer their residents high-quality, reasonably priced healthcare, the governments of numerous countries are introducing health reimbursement schemes. The favorable regulations and improvements affecting health reimbursement are probably going to support the market's expansion.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Slowdown in Development of Technologies due to Spread of the Virus

The market was significantly impacted by Covid-19, which resulted in a slowing of the development of new remedies despite advances in technology and surgical procedures. The number of patients visiting orthopedics for hip pain had decreased, which caused the market rate to decline along with the widespread spread of the virus and new regulations enacted by the government in different regions, such as lock down, which has caused the closure of industries and halted the production of new developments. Direct anterior approach sales growth is accelerated to a greater extent by the post-pandemic environment, which includes an increase in the number of senior patients visiting orthopedics.

LATEST TRENDS

Use of 3D Technology to Develop to Patient-Specific Instruments and Avoid Human Errors

A significant development in the sector recently that is being employed more frequently in direct anterior approach is 3D printing technology. In order to align the implants precisely and in accordance with the preliminary strategy, the innovation is employed to develop patient-specific guidelines. Patient-specific Instrumentation is the term used for this. This method adapts a preparatory strategy for every patient's anatomy using a CT scan. It helps the operating physician to precisely design and carry out the placing of the acetabular implant while maintaining hip stability. The reduction of human mistakes, increased accuracy of implant placing, and restitution of the natural hip mechanics have all been made possible by advances in computer guidance and automation.
