Based on orthopedic implant and device types, the foot and ankle devices market is classified into fixations devices, joint implants and soft tissue orthopedic devices. The fixation devices market is further segmented and analyzed into internal and external fixation devices. Internal fixation devices such as plates, screw, fusion nails and wires and pins are widely used in the foot and ankle surgical procedures. Whereas, external fixation devices such as unilateral, hybrid and ring ankle fixators are prospective options as they are minimally invasive devices. Soft tissue orthopedic devices include artificial tendons and ligaments and musculoskeletal reinforcement devices. Increase in the use of minimally invasive technologies will lead to a growth in the in the number of foot and ankle surgical procedures being performed.

The prosthetics market for foot and ankle devices include single axial prosthesis, multi axial prosthesis, solid ankle cushioned heel (SACH), pneumatic and hydraulic prosthesis, microprocessor controlled prosthesis. The demand for foot and ankle prosthetics is perpetually growing with the introduction of advanced devices and materials such as carbon fiber, pneumatic foot and hydraulic foot. Also, the introduction of microprocessor controlled prosthetic foot increased the comfort level of the patient in mobility. The goal of designing a prosthetic foot is to be light in weight with high strength as it...
