“Despite the headwinds our industry faced throughout the year, we delivered double digit revenue growth while continuing to advance initiatives that will fuel the future of the business,” said Orthofix President and Chief Executive Officer Jon Serbousek. “We closed the year with strong fourth quarter performance, driven by year-over-year growth in Global Spinal Implants as well as growth in Orthopedics, primarily as a result of the continued strength of key products such as the M6-C™ artificial cervical disc and our Fitbone™ intramedullary limb-lengthening system.” 
“Building on the momentum we have created over the last two years through strategic investments in our product portfolio and commercial channel, we see 2022 as an inflection point for our business. This year, we expect to accelerate our top line growth to mid-single digits at constant currency,” continued Serbousek. “As we move into 2023 and beyond, we expect to further accelerate our growth trajectory to become a high-single digit growth company with increasing profitability through continued disciplined investment in the areas of our business where we have a differentiated, competitive advantage.”
