Cretex Medical had a strong presence at the 2025 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting, engaging with industry leaders, customers, and surgeons to discuss the latest advancements in orthopaedics. Our booth was a hub of activity, drawing significant traffic from existing and potential customers eager to learn more about our advanced manufacturing capabilities and innovative medical solutions.

Engaging with Industry Experts

MD&M Throughout the event, our team met with numerous surgeons and medical professionals, gaining valuable insights into the evolving needs of the orthopaedic community. These discussions provided an excellent opportunity to share how Cretex Medical’s precision manufacturing and engineering expertise support the development of high-quality medical devices. Surgeons were particularly interested in our ability to provide comprehensive solutions, from design and development to manufacturing and sterilization support.
 

Key Industry Trends from AAOS 2025

Expansion of Surgical Robotics

Robotic-assisted surgery continues to gain momentum, with notable advancements such as the FDA approval of Stryker's Mako system for hip revision procedures. As technology continues to evolve, robotics is playing an increasingly significant role in improving surgical precision and patient outcomes.

Growth in Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs)

The demand for orthopaedic procedures is on the rise, driven by an aging yet active population. With hospital capital investments remaining steady, more procedures are shifting to ASCs, which offer cost-effective and efficient alternatives for outpatient surgeries. Industry experts anticipate continued growth in this sector.

Market Uncertainties

Industry leaders are closely monitoring external factors such as changes in Medicaid funding and potential tariffs on medical device materials from Canada and Mexico. The lack of exemptions for medical device manufacturers poses challenges, making it crucial for companies to navigate these regulatory shifts strategically.

 

Looking Ahead

AAOS 2025 was an invaluable opportunity for Cretex Medical to connect with key stakeholders, showcase our capabilities, and stay ahead of industry trends. As we continue to support our partners in the orthopaedic space, we remain committed to advancing medical manufacturing through innovation, collaboration, and excellence.

We appreciate everyone who visited our booth and look forward to continuing these important conversations throughout the year. See you at AAOS 2026 in New Orleans!
