Interestingly, orthopedic market analysts are simultaneously warning of potential headwinds in the number of orthopedic surgeries due to the anticipated growth in the use of Ozempic and similar drugs. These weight-loss drugs will reduce the stress on joints such as hips, knees, and vertebrae, delaying, and in some cases eliminating, the need for orthopedic surgery.
Of course, there are many factors at play including the aging population, the rate of increase of prescriptions, whether insurers eventually cover the use of such drugs, and the manufacturers' ability to keep up with the demand.
