3.  Net loss per share (unaudited)

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period.  For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator
includes both the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
potential dilutive common shares outstanding for the period.   For each of the
periods presented, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same due to the
antidilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding.

Overview

Innovasive Devices, Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in the
development, manufacture and marketing of proprietary devices and
instrumentation which facilitate the reattachment of soft tissue structures,
such as ligaments and tendons, to bones and other tissues. The Company has a
limited operating history and has expended significant resources to fund
research and development, the establishment of its manufacturing capabilities
and the expansion of its marketing and sales organization.  The Company plans to
continue investing aggressively in these areas. Although the Company's sales
have been principally derived from the sale of its family of shoulder related
products, the Company now markets five product platforms: suture anchors, suture
systems, cartilage repair products, anterior cruciate ligament ("ACL")
reconstruction products and its newly introduced meniscal repair products.  On
October 13, 1998, the Company announced the commercial release of its
Clearfix(TM) Meniscal Screw, a bioabsorbable device used to repair traumatic
tears within the meniscus of the knee through a minimally invasive arthroscopic
approach. The Company estimates there are approximately 700,000 meniscal tears
annually in the United States. While the vast majority of patients have the
damaged tissue removed, approximately 100,000 of these injuries are currently
being repaired with conventional suturing or tacking techniques. This represents
an estimated $40 million existing U.S. market opportunity.  In June of 1997 the
Company broadened its product portfolio with the acquisition of MedicineLodge,
Inc. ("MLI"), a company which designs develops and manufactures orthopaedic
medical devices - particularly implants and related instrumentation used in
minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures to repair injuries to the knee.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this
Quarterly Report and with the Financial Statements and Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 1998.

Any statements in this report expressing the beliefs and expectations of
management regarding the Company's future results and performance are forward-
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  The Company
wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  Such forward looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected.  These risks include the receipt of regulatory
approvals, progress of product development programs, clinical efficacy of and
market demand for the products.  Certain of such risks and uncertainties are
described in Exhibit 99 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 1998.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1997

Net sales for the third quarter of 1998 of $2,748,000 increased $ 763,000 from
$1,985,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The increase resulted
primarily from a higher level of sales of ACL reconstruction products, ROC
suture anchors, and suture systems.  Two products contributed to the increase in
ACL products over the third quarter of 1997: the Linx HT, which provides femoral
fixation of hamstring tendon grafts, and the GeoFit Screw and Washer system used
for tibial fixation of soft tissue.   Contributing to the increase in ROC suture
anchor sales was the BioROC, a bioabsorbable suture anchor introduced in the
first quarter of 1998.  The Company also experienced increased sales of its ROC
EZ and ROC XS suture anchors.  Suture system sales also increased over the same
quarter in 1997 as a result of increased sales of the Y-Knot, Suture Grasper and
Cuff Link product lines. Sales of the Company's COR system, used for articular
cartilage repair in the knee, were consistent with the same period in 1997.

Domestic net sales increased during the third quarter of 1998 over the third
quarter of 1997 as a result of an increase in sales of the Company's ACL
reconstruction products, ROC suture anchors, and suture systems.  In addition,
the Company has increased its domestic direct sales force, clinical support and
agent distribution network over the same quarter in the prior year.

International net sales increased during the third quarter of 1998 from the
third quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of an increase in ACL reconstruction
systems and ROC suture anchors.

Gross profit increased to $1,979,000 in the third quarter of 1998 from
$1,429,000 in the third quarter of 1997.  As a percentage of sales, gross profit
remained consistent at 72% as compared with the same quarter last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,708,000 in the
third quarter of 1998 from $2,282,000 in the third quarter of 1997. The increase
resulted primarily from increased salary and travel costs related to the
expansion of the domestic direct sales force, higher selling commissions
resulting from higher sales volume and increased advertising costs relating to
new product introductions.

Research and development expenses decreased to $971,000 in the third quarter of
1998 from $1,052,000 in the third quarter of 1997. The decrease was primarily
attributable to lower expenditures related to a product development project
cosponsored between the Company and Cohesion Technologies, Inc. (as assigned
from Collagen Corporation). The Company also experienced a decrease in
compensation costs related to the grant of stock options to its Scientific
Advisory Board.

Interest income decreased to $104,000 in the third quarter of 1998 from $260,000
in the third quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of investment returns earned
on lower average cash balances maintained during the third quarter of 1998 as
compared to the prior year.

As a result of the foregoing, the net loss decreased to $1,596,000 in the third
quarter of 1998 from a loss of $1,645,000 in the third quarter of 1997.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1997

Net sales for the first nine months of 1998 of $8,261,000 increased $2,862,000
from $5,399,000 for the same period in 1997.  The increase resulted primarily
from a higher sales level of ACL reconstruction products, ROC suture anchors,
and suture systems.  Two products contributed to the increase in ACL products
over the same period last year: the Linx HT, a device which provides femoral
fixation of hamstring tendon grafts, and the GeoFit Screw and Washer system used
for tibial fixation of soft tissue. Both products were commercially released in
the third quarter of 1997.  The Company also experienced modest increases in
sales of Interference Screw and Transverse Fixation Systems. Contributing to the
increase in ROC suture anchor sales was the ROC EZ, which replaced the Company's
original ROC anchor in the second quarter of 1997, the BioROC, a bioabsorbable
suture anchor introduced in the first quarter of 1998 and the ROC XS, a suture
anchor used in soft bone applications.   Suture system sales also increased over
the first nine months of 1997 partially as a result of increased sales of the
CuffLink, introduced in the second quarter of 1997, and the Y-Knot, introduced
in the second quarter of 1998.  The CuffLink is used to augment tunnels made in
the bone for rotator cuff repair procedures.  The Y-Knot is a device used in
place of traditional knot configurations when securing soft tissue to bone.  The
Company's line of Suture Graspers, used in arthroscopic knot tying, also
contributed to the increase over the prior year.  The Company's COR system, used
for articular cartilage repair in the knee, also experienced increased sales
over the same period in 1997.

Domestic net sales increased during the first nine months of 1998 over the same
period in 1997 as a result of an increase in sales of the Company's ROC suture
anchors, ACL reconstruction products and suture systems.  In addition, the
Company has increased its domestic direct sales force, clinical support and
agent distribution network over the same period in the prior year.

International net sales also increased during the first nine months of 1998 over
the same period in 1997 primarily as a result of an increase in ACL
reconstruction products, ROC suture anchors, and suture systems.

Gross profit increased to $5,948,000 for the first nine months of 1998 from
$3,823,000 for the same period in 1997.  As a percentage of sales, gross profit
increased to 72.0% for the first nine months of 1998 from 70.8% for the same
period in 1997.  The increase in gross profit was due primarily to an improved
product sales mix in the period and higher sales volumes that resulted in
improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $8,179,000 for the
first nine months of 1998 from $5,633,000 for the same period in 1997.  The
increase resulted primarily from the expansion of the domestic direct sales
force and clinical support resulting in increased salary and travel costs,
higher selling commissions resulting from the increased sales volume, increased
advertising costs relating to new product introductions and incremental
administrative costs related to the operations of MLI, acquired in the second
quarter of 1997.

Research and development expenses increased to $3,232,000 in the first nine
months of 1998 from $2,809,000 in the same period in 1997. The increase was
primarily attributable to incremental research and development costs associated
with the operations of MLI, acquired in the second quarter of 1997, and
compensation related to the grant of stock options to the Company's Scientific 
Advisory Board.

As a result of the Company's transaction with MLI in the second quarter of 1997,
the Company incurred a non-recurring charge to operations of $13,370,000
representing the portion of the purchase price allocated to in-process research
and development.

Interest income decreased to $423,000 in the first nine months of 1998 from
$844,000 in the same period in 1997 primarily as a result of investment returns
earned on lower average cash balances maintained during the first nine months of
1998 as compared to the prior year.

                                       9

As a result of the foregoing, the net loss decreased to $5,040,000 in the first
nine months of 1998 from a loss of $17,145,000 in the same period of 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 1998, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
amounted to $6.6 million as compared to $13.5 million at December 31, 1997.

Cash used in the Company's operations amounted to $6.3 million for the first
nine months of 1998 compared to $5.2 in the same period of 1997.  The net loss
incurred of $5.0 million and an increase in inventories of $2.0 were partially
offset by depreciation and the amortization of deferred compensation charges.

Cash provided by investing activities totaled $8.6 million for the first nine
months of 1998 resulting from net redemptions of marketable securities totaling
$9.3 million partially offset by capital equipment expenditures totaling
$689,000.  The Company invests its excess cash in marketable securities with
maturities of less than two years.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $107,000 for the first nine months
of 1998 resulting primarily from the exercise of shares from the Company's
Employee Stock Purchase Plan as well as the exercise of common stock options.

As of September 30, 1998, working capital amounted to $11.4 million as compared
to $15.9 million at December 31, 1997.

The Company expects that its balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities will be adequate to fund the near term cash requirements for
operations, working capital and fixed assets.

The Company's future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon the
establishment of effective sales channels in the United States and abroad, the
extent to which the Company's products gain market acceptance, the progress of
research and development programs, regulatory requirements and the expansion of
its manufacturing capabilities to satisfy increasing volume requirements.
Therefore, the Company cannot provide assurances that it will not require
additional financing in the future.  If additional financing is necessary, the
Company would seek to raise these funds through bank facilities or debt or
equity offerings.  There can be no assurance that such financing would be
successfully completed or that such financing would be available on terms
acceptable to the Company.


The Year 2000 Issue

The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any computer programs
that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities.

The Company believes that its primary business and research and development
systems will be year 2000 compliant by the first quarter of 1999 based on it's
internal evaluations and testing of these systems.  The Company does not rely
materially on non-IT related technology in its manufacturing processes and
thereby does not anticipate that Y2K issues will affect its ability to
manufacture finished goods.  The Company has begun the process of developing a
communication strategy for third party vendors and intends to issue
questionnaires that will address Y2K compliance.   The Company anticipates that
its assessment of third party vendors will be completed by the second quarter of
1999.  The Company does not anticipate incurring additional costs outside of the
scope of its current IT budget to complete future testing and compliance
activities.

The Company relies extensively on third party suppliers.  Because their systems
are not directly under the Company's control, the Company is at risk that all
required external Y2K compliance efforts will not be completed on a timely
basis.  In the event that the Company's significant suppliers do not
successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, and the Company is unable
to replace them with alternate suppliers, the Company's operations could be
adversely affected.

At this time, the Company believes that the year 2000 problem will not pose
significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems.  Since no
significant issues have arisen, the Company does not have a contingency plan to
address any material 2000 issues.  If significant year 2000 issues arise, the
Company may not be able to develop and implement a contingency plan on a timely
basis and the Company's operations could be adversely affected.

                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
                                        

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

         On October 29, 1998 the Company announced that a patent infringement
         suit had been filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for
         the District of Massachusetts by Bionx Implants, Inc. The suit alleges
         that the Company's Meniscal Dart, currently in the final phases of
         development, infringes a Bionx patent. The lawsuit does not allege any
         infringement with respect to the Company's Meniscal Screw, which was
         commercially launched in October 1998. Based on a preliminary review of
         the Bionx complaint, the Company believes that the suit is without
         merit and intends to defend itself.
