Medtech knees constant-currency sales growth measures knee product revenue growth after removing foreign-currency translation effects.

Stryker reported 8.0% constant-currency growth in Knees for the second quarter of 2026. Revenue was $693M, up from $640M.

International growth exceeded U.S. growth

U.S. Knees revenue grew 6.2%, while international revenue increased 12.4% on a constant-currency basis.

The geographic split helps distinguish broad category growth from regional mix.

Revenue growth does not equal procedure growth

Knee sales can change with procedure volume, implant mix, pricing, robotics adoption, and geography.

Pair it with Hips constant-currency sales growth and Orthopaedics operating margin.
