Spina bifida
occurs in seven of out every 10,000 live births in the United States. The average total lifetime cost to society for each infant born with
spina bifida
is approximately $532,000 per child. This estimate is only an average and for many children the total cost may be well above $1 million. Estimated annual medical care and surgical costs for persons with
spina bifida
in the United States exceed $200 million.
Sciatica
is a relatively common problem. About 90% of the time
sciatica
is due to a spinal disc herniation pressing on one of the lumbar or sacral nerve roots.
Spondylolisthesis
,
spinal stenosis
, piriformis syndrome, pelvic tumors, and compression by a baby's head during pregnancy may also contribute to sciatica.
Scoliosis
is a multifactorial disorder, which requires multidisciplinary research and treatment; affecting 2-3% of the population and there is no cure.
Scoliosis
impacts infants, adolescents, and adults worldwide, the primary age of onset being 10-15 years old.
Kyphosis
is often related to
osteoporosis
but in children it can be due to injury, a tumor on the
spine
, or a genetic disorder, such as
spina bifida
.
Osteoporosis
is the most common cause of fractures. Worldwide,
osteoporosis
causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually, resulting in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds. The risk of a fracture increases with age and is greatest in women. Spain, the 6
th
largest country in Europe with a population of 46.77 million, stands third in the list of highest incidence of spine injury cases in Europe with 23.5 injuries per million per year. Most recent estimates from Europe indicate motor vehicle crashes to be the leading cause of SCIs in regions of Spain followed by falls (24.6%).Most motor vehicle crashes leads to
whiplash
injury which later results in
cervicalgia
. More than 1,500
whiplash
claims are made in the UK every day. More than 50% of
whiplash
cases resolve after a few weeks of treatment. However, approximately 30% of cases become chronic and persist for months or years. Globally every year between 250,000 and 500,000 people suffer spinal cord injury. In Europe around 333,000 are currently affected. Spain has around 100 universities and 200 hospitals working in the field
Spine
and
Spinal disorders

The market for spinal surgery devices is being driven forward, as patients are offered safer, more reliable surgery. The global spinal surgery devices market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4% from $6.5 billion in 2011 to $8.7 billion in 2018. Spinal fusions increased 77 % from 2002 to 2011, and the demand will continue to grow as the indications for fusion expand.
