There is a greater variety of treatments available for hand and wrist conditions compared to larger anatomical areas of the body. The distinction between traumatic devices and reconstructive devices are a bit obscured, as there is overlap in indications. This is especially true for anatomies that are distal to the wrist joints. In particular, the distal radius plate market, which is almost solely used for traumatic fracture treatment, is also used for reconstruction of the hand and wrist. The hand and wrist market is segmented into the following devices:
• Total Wrist Joint Replacements
• Wrist Fusion
• Distal Radius Plates
• Distal Radioulnar Joint Implants

Shoulder devices are considered a small joint in this report; however, they are sometimes classified as large joints because they are often marketed in a similar manner to hip and knee implants, but have historically exhibited market revenue growth rate similar to devices for the distal extremities.
Shoulder reconstruction devices discussed in this report include: total shoulder implants, reversed-shoulder implants, partial shoulder implants and shoulder implant revisions.
