A Growing challenge for athletes and active patients worldwide

The Hidden Cost of Soft Tissues Injuries

Soft tissue injuries are a major global health challenge. Each year:

  • Hundreds of thousands of ACL injuries occur across North America, Europe, and Asia¹.
  • Over 250,000 rotator cuff repairs are performed annually in developed countries², with prevalence increasing in active adults worldwide.
 
These injuries carry long rehabilitation periods and a high risk of long-term joint degeneration, including knee osteoarthritis and chronic shoulder dysfunction2,3. The economic and societal impact is substantial, with healthcare costs, lost productivity, and long-term disability contributing billions of dollars annually across the major markets of the U.S., Europe, and Asia3,4. Innovations in ligament and tendon reconstruction – including minimally invasive techniques and synthetic or biomimetic grafts – are reshaping treatment globally, aiming for faster recovery and more durable outcomes.
