Orthopedic

From reimbursement challenges to supply and demand challenges, orthopedic surgeons are concerned about threats to the specialty.

Orthopedic clinics looking to join a larger group practice should come in with an open mind and be prepared for significant changes, according to Michael Doyle, CEO of Florida Orthopaedic Institute.

Medartis completed its acquisition of orthopedic devicemaker Nextremity Solutions.

Leadership changes are afoot in the medtech industry, with several spine and orthopedic device companies announcing new CEOs in the first four months of 2022:

Orthopedic devicemaker Conformis posted first-quarter revenue of $15.6 million and an 18 percent increase in hip sales. It also saw an increased net loss.

Data for a two-year trial of Stryker's InSpace subacromial balloon found the device was a viable option for patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.

Medical device company Zimmer Biomet reported $1.7 billion in first quarter net sales during the first quarter of 2022.

Orthofix is renewing its partnership with MTF Biologics for marketing and development of products.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons formed a $1 million grant program for diversity, equity and access in orthopedics.

Orthopedics remains one of the highest-paid physician specialties, but how does it compare to CEOs in the field?
