Smith & Nephew's Race to the Top
Executive Summary
Guess who was the fastest growing orthopedic implant company last year. Smith & Nephew. The boom that has characterized the orthopedics market for the past several years has been a rising tide that lifts all boats--all, that is, except Smith & Nephew. But in the last couple of years, Smith & Nephew has actually been growing faster than their larger competitors. And in an industry that will increasingly see winners and losers, Smith & Nephew believes it is positioned to be one of the winners.
