세계의 대퇴골 골절 시장 규모는 2024년에 6억 3,624만 달러에 이르고, 2033년에는 15억 9,905만 달러에 달할 것으로 예측되며, 예측기간 2025년-2033년의 CAGR은 7.9%로 성장할 전망입니다.
대퇴골 골절은 다리 뼈의 길이를 따라 이어지는 골절입니다. 대퇴골 골절은 골절을 일으키는 힘에 따라 크게 달라집니다. 뼈가 제대로 정렬되거나(안정 골절) 정렬이 어긋나기도 합니다(변위 골절). 피부는 골절 주위를 온전하게 유지하거나(폐쇄성 골절), 뼈가 뚫릴 수 있습니다(개방성 골절).
일반적으로 대퇴골 골절은 심한 불편함을 유발합니다. 다친 다리는 체중을 지탱할 수 없어 기형적으로 보이고 다른 쪽 다리보다 가늘어집니다. 대퇴골 골절 시장 성장을 이끄는 주요 동인은 교통 사고, 높은 고도에서의 추락, 총격 등 고에너지 충돌 사고의 증가입니다. 이러한 사고의 증가는 대퇴골 골절로 이어져 시장 성장을 주도하고 있습니다.
촉진요인과 억제요인
교통사고 증가
교통사고 발생률의 증가는 글로벌 대퇴골 골절 시장의 성장에 중요한 요인이 될 것으로 예상됩니다. 사고와 부상의 증가로 인해 대퇴골 골절에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있습니다.
예를 들어 세계보건기구에 따르면 매년 약 119만 명의 사람들이 도로 교통 사고로 인해 부상을 입습니다. 전 세계 도로에서 발생하는 부상의 92%는 저소득 및 중간 소득 국가에서 발생하지만, 이들 국가가 전 세계 차량의 약 60%를 보유하고 있습니다. 대부분의 국가에서 도로 교통 사고로 인해 국내총생산의 3%가 손실됩니다. 일반적으로 남성이 여성보다 도로 충돌 사고로 다치거나 사망할 확률이 3배 더 높습니다.
예를 들어, 미국 국립보건원에 따르면 도로 사고에서 가장 흔하게 발생하는 골절 부위는 양측 또는 다발성 골절입니다. 또한 남성은 대퇴골(28.2%), 여성은 상완골 골절(20.8%)이 가장 흔한 골절 부위인 것으로 나타났습니다. 연구에 따르면 1차 진료에서 골절 진단을 받은 환자의 거의 80%가 깁스, 보조기 또는 슬링을 설치하여 치료하는 것으로 나타났습니다. 교통사고로 부상을 입은 환자의 약 16%는 장애를 경험하게 됩니다. 정형외과적 부상은 가장 흔한 부상 유형이며 영구 장애의 주요 요인입니다. 근골격계 부상은 특히 대퇴골 골절과 경골 개방성 골절을 비롯한 근골격계 부상이 KLL 환자 장애의 주요 원인입니다. 또한 개발도상국에서는 교통 사고가 대부분의 골절 사례의 주요 원인입니다.
합병증과 수술 위험
대퇴골 골절의 합병증 및 수술 위험과 같은 요인은 글로벌 대퇴골 골절 시장을 저해할 것으로 예상됩니다. 가장 심각한 위험 중 하나는 특히 외과적 개입이 필요한 상황에서 감염의 가능성입니다. 뼈가 피부를 뚫고 부러지는 개방성 골절은 심각한 뼈 감염인 골수염으로 진행될 수 있는 감염에 더 취약합니다. 수술 고정에 사용되는 플레이트나 나사와 같은 이물질은 이러한 위험을 증가시킬 수 있습니다. 감염 외에도 다른 문제로는 뼈가 제대로 붙지 않거나 부적절한 위치에서 치유될 때 발생하는 골절의 불유합 또는 부정유합이 있습니다. 이러한 문제로 인해 회복 시간이 길어지고 더 많은 시술이 필요해져 환자 예후에 영향을 미치고 의료 비용이 증가할 수 있습니다. 이러한 합병증과 수술 위험은 전 세계 대퇴골 골절 시장을 저해할 수 있습니다.
The Global Femur Shaft Fracture Market reached US$ 636.24 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 1599.05 Million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period 2025-2033.
A femur shaft fracture is a break that spans along the length of the leg bone. Femur breaks vary greatly depending on the force that produces them. Bones will either line up properly (stable fracture) or be out of alignment (displaced fracture). The skin can remain intact surrounding the fracture (closed fracture), or it can be pierced by the bone (open fracture).
Typically, a fracturing of the femoral shaft causes severe discomfort. The injured limb would be unable to bear weight, making it appear misshapen, and thinner than the other leg. The major drivers driving the Femur shaft fracture market growth are the increased incidents of high-energy collisions, including road accidents, falling from high altitudes, and gunshots. The rising prevalence of these accidents leads to femur shaft fractures, which drives market growth.
Executive Summary
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Increasing incidence of road accidents
The increasing incidence of road accidents is expected to be a significant factor in the growth of the global femur shaft fracture market. The demand for femur shaft fractures is increasing owing to the increasing number of accidents and injuries.
For instance, according to the World Health Organization, Approximately 1.19 million people get injured each year as a result of road traffic crashes. 92% of the world's injuries on the roads occur in low- and middle-income countries, even though these countries have around 60% of the world's vehicles. Road traffic crashes cost most countries 3% of their gross domestic product. Males are typically 3 times more likely to be injured or killed in road crashes than females.
For instance, according to the National Institute of Health, in road accidents, bilateral or multiple were the most commonly known sites of fractures. It is also observed that the most commonly fractured bone among males was the femur (28.2%) while a humerus fracture was the most common among females (20.8%). According to research, it is found that almost 80% of patients diagnosed with a fracture in primary care would be treated by installing casts, braces, or slings. Around 16% of patients who are injured in traffic accidents will experience disability. Orthopedic injuries are the most common type of injury and are the main factor in permanent disability. Injuries to the musculoskeletal system are the leading cause of disability in KLL patients, especially femur fractures and open fractures of the tibia. Traffic accidents are also the leading cause of most fracture cases in developing countries.
Complications and Surgical Risks
Factors such as complications and surgical risks for femur shaft fracture are expected to hamper the global femur shaft fracture market. One of the most serious risks is the possibility of infection, especially in situations requiring surgical intervention. Open fractures, which occur when the bone breaks through the skin, are more vulnerable to infections that can progress to osteomyelitis, a serious bone infection. Foreign materials, like plates and screws used in surgical fixation, can increase this risk. In addition to infection, other problems include nonunion or malunion of the fracture, which occurs when the bone fails to repair properly or heals in an improper position. These issues might cause longer recovery times and more procedures, affecting patient outcomes and increasing healthcare expenses. These complications and surgical risks may hamper the global femur shaft fracture market.

This robust infrastructure facilitates fast and effective treatment of femur shaft fractures, resulting in market growth.
Additionally, the growing incidence of high-energy trauma, notably from road traffic accidents, contributes significantly to the prevalence of femur shaft fractures in North America. For instance, according to The Ohio State University, 6 million people in the United States break a bone each year. Fractures account for 16% of all musculoskeletal injuries in the U.S. annually. More than 40% of fractures occur at home (22.5% inside and 19.1% outside). Approximately 887,679 hospitalizations result each year from fractures. For instance, according to HealthInAging.org, Up to 300,000 older adults are prone to fractures each year. Ninety percent of the time a fall causes these fractures. One in four men and one in two women over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. This disease makes bones fragile. The increased frequency of such accidents and the rising number of osteoporosis in North America need appropriate treatment options for femur shaft fractures, leading to an increase in demand for femur shaft fracture equipment and surgical procedures.
