Joe is an experienced healthcare services investment banker who has deep experience advising on consolidation activity within the physician practice management sector. One of the many areas that Joe has been closely watching is the orthopedics and sports medicine physician specialty. While many healthcare niches have experienced waves of consolidation in the past few years, orthopedics and sports medicine, in particular, have undergone an unusually fast increase in the volume of private equity platform investments over the last year.

In the following article, we outline some of the reasons why orthopedics is quickly becoming one of the industry’s most exciting areas of focus. We also highlight robust activity in several sectors, including revenue cycle services, genetics, pathology, eyecare, autism services and pharma outsourcing services. Each of these dynamic niches has unique opportunities driving M&A and investment activity.
