Joint Replacement. ​ In 2015 there were a reported 378,000 hip replacement surgeries in the US and the market is expected to grow to 510,000 by 2020. Globally hip replacement surgery generated $7 billion in revenue for suppliers of stems, cups, liners and associated surgical tools. The major reason for such surgery is osteoarthritic degeneration of the hip joint which is a major load-bearing joint. Two principal reasons for growth in the market are the aging of the population and the increased incidence of obesity. The more obese a person is the more weight the hips have to bear and the more they are subject to deterioration. In a study published by the CDC looking at the demographics of patients who had their hips replaced the fastest growing age group between 2001 and 2010 was those between 45 and 54 years of age. Such individuals want to remain active and are more demanding than much older more sedentary patients. 925,000 knees were replaced in the US in 2015 and worldwide the knee replacement market generated $8.5 billion in revenue. ​ Current Practice and Market Opportunity ​ There are two major approaches to surgery for hip replacement. One involves an anterior approach and incision and the other involves a posterior incision and approach. Minimally invasive approaches are also possible. After making the incision and exposing the hip joint from the surrounding muscles the hip is dislocated and the ball at the head of the femur is sawn off. The cavity into which the stem will be placed is prepared using devices referred to as broaches which are similar to carpenters' files or chisels. The surgeon then hammers the stem into the prepared cavity and attaches the new ceramic or metal head. The diseased bone tissue in the acetabulum or cup in the pelvis is removed and a porous coated cup placed into the acetabulum. The ball is relocated into the socket and the incisions closed. ​ Hip replacement surgery works very well but it is not without its problems. Complications and adverse events with hip replacement surgery are relatively common, with up to 30% of patients having at least a single unwanted outcome. The most common adverse events are: uneven legs, >20%; early loosening, 5%; peri-operative fractures, >5%; and early dislocation, 2-5%. One source for these problems is inter-surgeon variability. As Figure 1 (below) shows, surgeons vary widely in the force they apply when forcing home the implanted stem. ​
