Life at Arthrex St. Louis 

At Arthrex St. Louis, we believe work is better when you enjoy the people you work with. Our team culture is built on collaboration, trust, and a shared mission, but we also know how to have fun along the way. 

We make time to connect outside of the OR, whether it’s cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals, catching a Mizzou Tigers game, or coming together for our annual leadership retreats. From volunteer events to casual happy hours, these moments help us strengthen relationships and celebrate our successes as a team. 

Inside the OR, that same connection shows up in the way we support each other. People are quick to step in, share knowledge, and help out wherever they can. It’s this combination of high standards, teamwork, and genuine camaraderie that makes Arthrex St. Louis a Top Workplace year after year. 

Here, you’ll find a place to grow professionally, build meaningful relationships, and be part of a team that works hard, plays hard, and truly values the people who make it all possible.
