Report Presents Evidence That Orthopedic Surgeons May Be Segmented Based on the Numbers and Types of Procedures Performed Indicating Some Emerging Specialization

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c66620) has announced the addition of “A Snapshot of Orthopedic Surgeons’ Practices, Procedures, Trends and Sites of Care” to their offering.

The results feature a summary of surgeons’self-reported procedures by category (minimally invasive), type (hip, knee, shoulder) 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 sales, advertising, training, professional education, forecasting and other business functions.
