Market Overview

The North America Arthroscopy Devices Market Size refers to the segment of the medical device industry that focuses on instruments and equipment used in arthroscopic procedures; minimally invasive surgeries performed to diagnose and treat joint-related conditions such as ligament tears, cartilage damage, and arthritis. Arthroscopy devices are specialized instruments such as arthroscopes, implants, fluid management systems, RF systems, and visualization equipment that enable surgeons to perform minimally invasive joint surgeries by inserting a small camera and tools into the joint, resulting in faster recovery times than traditional open procedures. The North American market is divided into applications such as knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow, and other joints, and product types, including arthroscopes, implants, fluid management systems, RF systems, visualization systems, and accessories. Moreover, the North American arthroscopy devices market is significant because of its growing healthcare demand, which is being driven by an increase in sports injuries, osteoarthritis, and other joint disorders, as well as continuous technological advancements in imaging and surgical tools that improve precision and patient outcomes. So, the most significant drop in knee surgeries happened early in the pandemic. This had a further impact on the expansion of the arthroscopic device industry during the epidemic. However, the sector has been doing well since the restrictions were eased. Over the last two years, the industry has recovered due to an increase in orthopedic procedures and marketing methods used to sell arthroscopy gadgets.

In January 2023, Zimmer Biomet bought Embodiment, Inc. For USD 155 million upfront plus up to USD 120 million in milestones, with a focus on soft tissue healing technology related to arthroscopy. Lazurite's arthrofree wireless surgical camera system was approved by the FDA.

In November 2022, as part of a collaboration with the Hospital for Special Surgery, to improve arthroscopic endoscopic procedures. Miach Orthopaedics won a USD 20 million series B extension in Q2 2024 for its bear implant, which is utilized in ACL repairs and will enable us to commercialize.
