Arthroplasty is the surgical replacement of a joint — most commonly the knee or hip — to restore function and relieve pain, often from osteoarthritis. It is one of the highest-value procedure categories in orthopedic surgery.
Because arthroplasty involves significant device content and is well-coded, claims data makes it straightforward to identify and rank high-volume surgeons and facilities.
Joint replacement is a cornerstone of the orthopedic device market. For companies selling implants, instrumentation, or robotics, arthroplasty procedure volume is the primary signal of which surgeons and facilities represent the most opportunity.
Arthroplasty volume also anchors market sizing and KOL identification — the highest-volume joint-replacement surgeons are both top commercial targets and influential opinion leaders.
Arthroplasty is surgical joint replacement, most often of the knee or hip, performed to restore function and relieve pain from conditions like osteoarthritis. It's a high-value orthopedic procedure with significant implant and device content.
Filter claims to arthroplasty CPT codes and aggregate by surgeon and facility to rank providers by procedure volume. The highest-volume joint-replacement surgeons are the priority targets for orthopedic implant and device outreach.
Arthroplasty carries high device content — implants and instrumentation — so it represents major revenue opportunity. Procedure volume identifies which surgeons and facilities drive the most demand, focusing commercial effort where it pays off.
Osteoarthritis is a leading reason patients need joint replacement, so osteoarthritis prevalence drives arthroplasty demand. Targeting can start from the diagnosis (osteoarthritis) or the procedure (arthroplasty), depending on the product.
