Global Cheilectomy Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

Cheilectomy is a surgical procedure aimed to remove the bony lump present on the top of the metatarsophalangeal joint (big toe). Hallux rigidus, a type of big toe arthritis is a major cause of the same. According to a study published in the World Journal of Orthopedics in 2017, hallux rigidus is a degenerative disease of the first MTP joint. Moreover, it is estimated that the disease affects 1 in every 40 people, aged 50 or more. Females are greatly affected by the disease as compared to males, .i.e., by a ratio of 2:1. Therefore, increasing prevalence of hallux rigidus and growing female population are the major drivers for the market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, increasing demands for minimally invasive procedures and rising healthcare expenditure is estimated to fuel the market. According to the World Health Organization, the geriatric population is projected to grow from an estimated 524 million in 2010 to approximately 1.5 billion by 2050. However, high procedural cost followed by complications like deep vein thrombosis, need for repeated surgery, stiffness in the joints of the toes and low per capita healthcare expenditure in the middle and low-income countries is estimated to restrain the market growth during the projected period. According to the Fairfield Independent Hospital, the procedural cost for the same in 2016 was estimated to be around USD 3,545.

The global cheilectomy market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period.
