By 2030, the orthopedic devices market is projected to reach $77.9 billion, yet many of the biggest downstream decisions in today’s OR still hinge on adoption rates like pre op imaging and prehabilitation. At the same time, musculoskeletal disorders already affect 2.9 million U.S. adults by limiting work, creating a clear link between clinical workflow and device demand. This post connects market growth with procedure volume, imaging and safety signals, and the real-world utilization patterns shaping orthopedic outcomes.
