Overview

Orthopedics & Sports Medicine covers orthopedic surgery groups, sports-medicine clinics, and musculoskeletal management organizations. It is a high-value specialty roll-up, driven by the migration of joint replacement and orthopedic surgery to ASCs and rich ancillary economics (imaging, PT, ASC, DME).

PE-backed musculoskeletal platforms (HOPCo, OrthoAlliance, and others) consolidate practices and their ancillaries, while aging demographics and rising joint-replacement volumes support strong demand. The ASC shift is central to the value creation.
