SmartTRAK looks behind the curtain at the interplay of factors truly driving growth in the US Soft Tissue Fixation Market.

With the US Soft Tissue Fixation Market worth an estimated $1.5B, SmartTRAK looked behind industry’s curtain at the interplay of factors driving the 5.3% CAGR in the sports medicine market to see what’s truly driving growth in the market.
