Written by Lisa Mahan | 6/1/18 4:05 PM

SmartTRAK, the leading source of competitive life sciences intelligence used by the top ten global orthopedic & wound care companies, has published its Q118 Total Joints Market Recap.

The Total Joints Market started the year facing increased headwinds from high deductibles and canceled surgeries due to a severe flu season. While reported revenue growth appears to be strong, without the positive foreign currency effect, global constant currency growth dipped below 1%. The year may be off to a challenging start, but SmartTRAK expects recovery to ramp up later in 2018 as surgeries are rescheduled.

Among the topics covered in the Q118 Total Joints Market Recap are:

  • Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Boost Revenues
  • Hospitals Facing Record-Breaking Flu Season Postponed Surgeries
  • New Product Highlights
  • Q118 Regulatory Highlights
