Stryker’s Orthopaedics division, including its hip and knee businesses, is experiencing slower revenue growth than the rest of the company amid a general market deceleration. The report says Stryker has been unable to capture market share at its historical rate, with the SAP system rollout described as a distraction. Regaining competitive momentum and improving organic sales growth are identified as priorities for the Orthopaedics team.
