Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c66103) has announced the addition of Unlocking the Orthopedic Surgery Market: Understanding Orthopedic Surgeons' Behaviors, Attitudes and Perceptions to their offering.
Orthopedic surgery is currently a stable market in terms of procedures, methods and patients. There are a couple of exceptions, however. Minimally invasive procedures, and in particular advances in shoulder arthroscopy, have had an impact on surgeon's practices. While the types of procedures and patients are stable, the number of procedures being performed is increasing. Of the hip, knee and shoulder procedures featured in the research, all were reported to have increased.
The number of patients consulted for hip, knee and shoulder issues that receive a surgical treatment has remained the same. Emerging techniques and surgical methods have not increased the proportion of patients receiving surgery.
A Snapshot of Orthopedic Surgeons' Practices, Procedures, Trends and Sites of Care
The results feature a summary of orthopedic procedures by category (minimally invasive), type and site of care. Also included is a summary of patient characteristics and trends in converting consultation to procedures.
The results of the analyses indicate orthopedic surgery is a relatively stable market. Minimally invasive procedures have resulted in some changes to the procedures surgeons perform, as well as sites of care; however, it is not dramatic. There is evidence that orthopedic surgeons may be segmented based on the numbers and types of procedures performed, indicating some emerging specialization. Knowledge of the specific segments evolving will be helpful to companies to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their marketing efforts.
The information has applicability to marketing, sales, advertising, training, professional education, forecasting and other business functions.
