According to the latest research by iData Research, the U.S. sports medicine market is limited by the relatively stable incidence rate of tendon and ligament injuries, which tends to vary greatly among different anatomies and different population groups. In spite of this trend, the level of innovation has been increasing within the U.S. sports medicine market and multiple companies have made strategic product launches to improve their market positioning in 2022 and 2023.
