ORTHOPEDICS THIS WEEK: Growing Fast and Patient Founded. Who Is It?

ORTHOPEDICS THIS WEEK: Growing Fast and Patient Founded. Who Is It?

Medacta recently wrapped-up its 9th M.O.R.E. Symposium and Orthopedics This Week was there to capture the buzz. The event featured 1,500 attendees with 120 expert surgeons presenting on a variety of topics including knee, hip, spine, shoulder and sports medicine. Excitement amongst the attendees focused on innovation, kinematic alignment, first-in-class personalized medicine, superior surgeon training, in-house technologies, healthcare sustainability and patient support. 

In 2018 Medacta, the only orthopaedic company founded by a patient, was among the fastest growing orthopaedic companies. 
In 2019 Medacta celebrated its 20-year anniversary and became a public company with shares available for purchase on the Swiss Exchange. 
Orthopedics This Week highlights how the company managed to stay true to their core values amongst rapid growth. Medacta believes that the surgeon should never be alone when discovering new technologies. Indeed, Medacta’s commitment to education is far beyond the typical “watch a video, do a two-day course” type of experience.
