Artificial joints are a large class of products in orthopaedic devices. They are implantable artificial organs designed to save the joints that have lost their functions. They belong to the three types of medical devices in China. At present, artificial joints are mainly divided into artificial knees, hips, elbows, shoulders, fingers, toes and joints, of which the products with larger market sales are artificial knee joints and artificial hip joints. The number of artificial joint replacements accounts for almost all of the artificial 90% of the amount of joint replacement.

Market prospects <br> <br> Currently, artificial joint replacement surgery have a more mature operation, it can eliminate joint pain, joint function return to normal activities, so that people affected by long-term joint pain and suffering of a new life again, surgery Afterwards, walking, traveling, working and physical exercises can be performed like normal people, so artificial joints have become one of the major best-selling products in the orthopedic device market.

Joint disease is a common disease in the elderly. Through joint replacement surgery, many elderly people have regained confidence in life and have effectively improved their quality of life. As the global population ages, the demand for artificial joints is increasing. At the same time, the number of joint traumas caused by intense sports and traffic accidents is increasing every year. The demand for artificial joint products required for treatment is increasing day by day, and the artificial joint market is developing at an unprecedented rate.

With the development of science and technology, artificial joint materials have evolved from early wear-resistant stainless steel joints to today's high-performance materials such as silicon carbide and other high-hardness ceramic materials, aerospace ceramic materials, and aluminum-zirconium alloy materials. The artificial joints made of these high-performance materials have made the hardness, wear resistance, impact resistance, high temperature stability and biocompatibility of the products greatly improved. The weight is closer to the bones and joints, and the compatibility with the human body is even greater. it is good. The continuous improvement of safety and effectiveness further promotes the widespread use of artificial joints.

Quality of domestic products is expected to increase <br> <br> from the domestic market share of view, according to incomplete statistics, in 2011 China's orthopedic surgeon has implemented a total of about 200,000 cases of arthroplasty, in this process, hospitals are more Products of foreign companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Zimmer and Xerox. At present, imported products account for more than 60% of the market share of artificial joints in China.

Compared with domestic products, the functionality and effectiveness of imported products are higher, but the price is relatively expensive, the price is often 2 to 3 times that of similar domestic products, such as domestic artificial hip joints price of about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan , imports are 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. From the perspective of clinical application, some imported products are designed according to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of European and American races, and there is a problem of mismatching with patients' bones in clinical applications in China. This will increase the difficulty of operation and increase the time, and increase the number of doctors and patients. Risk, to a certain extent, affects the effectiveness of clinical treatment.

In June 2011, the “12th Five-Year Plan” national high-tech research and development program in the field of new materials technology “The research and development of key materials technology for the replacement and repair of typical human organ tissues” has been approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology. The project content includes the titanium alloy artificial Key technologies and product R&D for joints and traumatic materials are designed to break through the key technologies of design, processing, surface modification and large-scale production to develop economical, practical and reliable products that meet the physiological characteristics of Chinese people and reduce product prices. Fully independent intellectual property rights artificial joint industry chain.

The development of local brands has continued since 2000. With the rigid demand of the market, the market for artificial joints in China has grown rapidly. Local companies have already achieved the first step of differentiation in the early stages, and a number of representative companies have emerged, such as Chuangsheng, Kanghui and Weiwei. These companies are based on The mid-end market gradually penetrates the high-end market and continues to extend its product lines to overseas markets.

At present, on the one hand, China's artificial joint production enterprises should increase research and development efforts, strengthen cooperation with universities and research institutions, and jointly apply for government support and support in funds and policies, and strive to establish new materials and new processes in the product. Advantages; On the other hand, companies should listen to doctors and patients' suggestions and opinions, encourage them to directly participate in product development, and make products more in line with patient characteristics and disease characteristics. At the same time, the protection of intellectual property rights has been strengthened, and on the basis of ensuring that independent brands are not harmed, and using the price competition of their own products and geographical location advantages, they have actively explored markets in Africa and Asia and established long-term cooperative relationships with medical institutions in some countries. The market takes the initiative.
