Q219 saw marginal revenue growth amid single-injection momentum and competitive pricing pressure

The numbers are in and now that we are in the second quarter of 2019, the US Joint Fluid market seems to be getting off its slow-ish start of the year, gaining some momentum with the single-injection segment pushing the aggregate total revenue into positive growth, according to the recently published SmartTRAK Financial Dashboard. This, despite relentless and fierce pricing competition in the multi-injection arena. 

Among the many topics covered in the Q219 US Joint Fluid Market Recap* are:

SmartTRAK was once again cited as a trusted source for market data, this time in the Orthofix Q219 Earnings Call and press release.

Brad Mason, Orthofix's President and Chief Executive Officer, referenced the SmartTRAK Market Recap: OrthoBio Report in the press release and stated “Regarding the second quarter results, net sales were in line with our expectations, led by another quarter of outstanding performance in our Biologics products and notably, as reported by SmartTRAK ^®, Orthofix now has the number one market share position in the U.S. cellular allograft segment.”
