Patient Care Opportunity
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The National Center on Physical Activity and Ability estimate that 20 million Americans suffer with OA of which many are affected with painful knee or hip OA. Active aging Baby Boomers and the increasing incidence of obesity, are contributing factors of OA and are expected to create considerable need for knee and hip replacement.

Market Assumptions
Unicompartmental Procedures (UKA)
Unicompartmental OA is conservatively estimated at 10% of the total knee market2 and is a high opportunity market.
Patellofemoral Procedures (PF)
Patellofemoral OA is estimated at 24% of the market1,2 and is an emerging technique for isolated PF disease.
Bicompartmental (BiComp)
Bicompartmental OA of the tibiofemoral-patellofemoral may present in 40-65% of knee OA sufferers1,2,3. The most common surgical solution offered is TKA. RIO® and RESTORIS® MCK BiCompartmental implants offer promising solutions.
Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)
Total knee arthroplasty is the gold standard for OA surgical candidates yet 90% choose not to have the operation according to the Duke Survey Study4.
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)
