Abstract

Introduction: The escalation of United States (U.S.) spine surgery volume has been accompanied by considerable advancements in our understanding of spine physiology and technology. Together with implant development over the past decades, these improvements have led to shifts in implant usage. This investigation aimed to elucidate the trends in spinal implant utilization in the U.S. from 2013 to 2022.

Materials and methods: Spine implant utilization and pricing averages between 2013 and 2022 were extracted from Orthopedic Network News. The total sample composed of 664,310 spine procedure purchase orders. Prices were adjusted for inflation based on 2022 prices. Trends were analyzed using linear regression.

Results: The U.S. spine procedure volume increased significantly from around 800,000 procedures per year in 2013 to over 1.1 million in 2022, with 73% comprising lumbar and cervical fusions. The proportion of procedures performed in patients over 64 years old increased significantly in both lumbar and cervical cases, constituting 50% and 37% of procedures, respectively. In lumbar spine in 2022, 46% of procedures utilized both pedicle screws (PSs) and interbody devices, 37% PSs only, and 13% interbody devices only. Lumbar PS price decreased significantly to $923 each despite stable lumbar and cervical fusion procedure costs. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and allograft interbody device usage declined while metal increased significantly.

Conclusion: Nationwide spine procedure volume rose notably from 2013 to 2022, with the majority constituting lumbar and cervical fusions. The most frequent treatment for a lumbar fusion is a PS construct with an interbody fusion device. Interbody fusion device materials witnessed decline in the use of PEEK and allograft, with metals becoming the preferred material.

Level of evidence: III.

脊柱植入物的使用和定价趋势。
导读:随着美国脊柱外科手术数量的增加,我们对脊柱生理学和技术的理解也有了长足的进步。随着种植体在过去几十年的发展,这些改进导致了种植体使用的转变。本研究旨在阐明2013年至2022年美国脊柱植入物使用的趋势。材料和方法:2013年至2022年脊柱种植体使用率和价格平均值摘自骨科网络新闻。总样本由664,310份脊柱手术采购订单组成。价格根据2022年的价格进行了通胀调整。采用线性回归分析趋势。结果:美国脊柱手术数量显著增加,从2013年的每年约80万例增加到2022年的110多万例,其中73%包括腰椎和颈椎融合。64岁以上患者腰椎和颈椎的手术比例均显著增加,分别占手术的50%和37%。在2022年的腰椎手术中,46%的手术同时使用椎弓根螺钉(ps)和椎体间装置,37%仅使用ps, 13%仅使用椎体间装置。尽管腰椎和颈椎融合手术费用稳定,腰椎PS价格仍显著下降至923美元。聚醚醚酮(PEEK)和同种异体移植体间装置的使用下降,而金属的使用显著增加。结论:2013年至2022年,全国脊柱手术量显著上升,以腰椎和颈椎融合为主。腰椎融合术最常见的治疗方法是PS结构与椎间融合器。体间融合装置材料中PEEK和同种异体移植物的使用有所下降,金属成为首选材料。证据水平:III。
