The US spinal implant market will grow to $6.4 billion over the next ten years, representing a compound annual growth rate of 2.4%.The US spinal implant market is a mature market with its largest product segments — traditional anterior cervical plating and posterior thoracolumbar pedicle screw fixation — featuring largely commoditized products and a lack of product innovation”.
Also, steady pricing decreases are expected in most segments of the spinal implant market through 2024.Fortunately, shifts in procedure and product mix to premium-priced plate/cage hybrid devices with integrated screw fixation, (stand-alone cages) will help offset declining unit prices.
Stand-Alone Cervical Cages are without any doubt a growing Trend in US. But,
Why the cervical stand-alone cages market grows?
- First, because it is a simple procedure: Traditionally, in order to hold an IBD in place, the surgeon had to use a supplemental fixation plate to help. These newstand-alone design by utilizing two screws to help secure the IBD in its functional position, eliminates the need for a supplemental fixation plate making the procedure more easy and fast to implement.

What do the surgeons think about this trend?
According to them, we can find that results demonstrate that stand-alone cages have fewer complications compared to anterior plating, with a lower trend of incidence of postoperative dysphagia. Stand-alone cages may offer the advantage of sending patients home ambulatory after ACDF surgery.
