The Future

Orthomimetics remains committed to developing technology with applications in significant and fast-growing market sectors:

• Articular cartilage repair. Over 15 million patients suffer from osteoarthritis as a result of damage to the articular surfaces in the knee, hip, shoulder and ankle.
• Ligament and tendon repair. Injuries to ligaments and tendons, particularly in the knee, are extremely common. It is estimated that over 10 million patients require treatment for knee ligament injuries alone.
• Meniscal tissue repair. It is widely accepted that the damage and loss of meniscal tissue leads to degenerative joint changes and potential disability fuelling demand from surgeons for alternative surgical solutions to meniscus reconstruction.
