Orthopedics Corner is a new series highlighting new developments in spine and orthopedics technology you may have missed. Catalyst OrthoScience CEO Carl O’Connell, along with surgeon and researcher Matthew Budge, talked to Medtech Insight about Catalyst’s innovation in shoulder arthroplasty.

In this special podcast from Medtech Insight, editor Reed Miller talked to Andrie Leday, the US vice president for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) at Johnson & Johnson/DePuy Synthes. Leday's group is dedicated to creating a new "ecosystem" around DePuy Synthes' broad range of orthopedic implants and tools to meet the demand of an aging population.

The global market for arthroscopy products and sports medicine implants is expected to reach $6.3bn by 2025, a CAGR of 1.9% from $5.7bn in 2020. The growth is driven partly by rising arthroscopy procedure volumes, expanding indications for joint repair, and patient preference for minimally invasive procedures. COVID-19 and downward pressures on device prices are among the growth barriers.
