Seventeen PE Firms are now Investing in Orthopedic Practice Acquisitions, Signaling a Probable Surge in 2021 Deal Activity
The first quarter of 2021 delivered four reported orthopedic practice acquisitions continuing a steady pace of transactions in the specialty. Notably, we saw the formation of two new platforms. Trivest partners acquired Bluegrass Orthopedics to form a platform of the same name, and Kohlberg & Company acquired Orthopedic Associates of Manhasset and formed Spire Orthopedic Partners. Seventeen PE firms now have orthopedic platform investments. We believe activity will continue to build throughout the year.
