Johnson & Johnson to restructure orthopedic business

Johson & Johnson is embarking on a two-year restructuring process of its orthopedic business after its third quarter earnings report reflects a shortfall in medical device sales, according to an Oct. 17 report from The Business Times.

Its medical device sales fell short of Wall Street projections, causing J&J to plan an exit strategy for certain markets and stop selling some products under its orthopedic business. 

Johnson & Johnson reported $2.2 billion in orthopedic sales in the third quarter of the year, up 3.4% from the same period last year. Its hip, knee, spine and sports medicine segments also saw year-over-year growth. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
