                 AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION



         1. Integrated Orthopaedics, Inc. (the "Corporation"), pursuant to the
provisions of Article 4.07 of the Texas Business Corporation Act, hereby adopts
amended and restated articles of incorporation which accurately copy the
articles of incorporation and all amendments thereto that are in effect to date
(collectively, the "Articles of Incorporation") and as further amended by such
amended and restated articles of incorporation as hereinafter set forth and
which contain no other change in any provision thereof. The Articles of
Incorporation are being amended in their entirety by these amended and restated
articles of incorporation.


         2. Each such amendment made by these amended and restated articles of
incorporation has been effected in conformity with the provisions of the Texas
Business Corporation Act, and such amended and restated articles of
incorporation and each such amendment made by the amended and restated articles
of incorporation were duly adopted by the shareholders of the Corporation on the
_____ day of _________, 2001.

         3. The number of shares of common stock outstanding was _____________;
the number of shares of common stock entitled to vote on the amended and
restated articles of incorporation as so amended was __________; the number of
shares voted for such amended and restated articles as so amended was
_____________; and the number of shares voted against such amended and restated
articles as so amended was _____________.

         4. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Articles of
Incorporation of the Corporation, the Corporation is effecting a 1.0 for 5.0
reverse stock split of the Common Stock that results in a decrease in the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation in the following manner:

         Upon the filing of this amended and restated articles of incorporation,
each share of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Old Common Stock"),
of the Corporation authorized and outstanding immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the merger of PowerBrief, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with
and into the Corporation shall be automatically converted into, and deemed for
all purposes to be, 0.20 of a share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share
("New Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and written notice thereof shall
forthwith be given by the Secretary of the Corporation to the holders of the
outstanding shares of the Old Common Stock in person or at their latest
addresses reflected on the records of the Corporation, together with notice of
the procedures hereinafter specified for exchange or replacement of the
certificates representing shares of the Old Common Stock. Upon surrender of the
certificate(s) representing shares of such stock by the registered holder
thereof in properly endorsed and due form for exchange and cancellation
(together with all necessary stock powers and other appropriate documentation),
or upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the executive officers of
the Corporation of the loss, theft, or destruction of the certificate(s)
therefor from the registered holder of such stock (together with delivery of an
indemnity bond in appropriate amount, payable to the Corporation, if the
executive officers shall so require it in their reasonable judgment), the
transfer agent of the Corporation shall accept and cancel the certificate(s)
surrendered, if applicable, and shall issue to such holder certificate(s),
endorsed with such legends as are required or are appropriate, in such
denominations as such holder may request, amounting to 0.20 shares of the New
Common Stock for every one share of the Old Common Stock as shall have been
surrendered or for which satisfactory evidence of loss, theft, or destruction
shall have been received; provided, however, that any fractional shares of New
Common Stock resulting from such conversion (calculated per record holder of Old
Common Stock based on the aggregate number of shares of New Common Stock such
holder is entitled to receive as a result of the reverse stock split) shall be
cancelled, and, in lieu thereof, the holder of such fractional share shall be
paid cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) five
times the average of the daily high and low sales prices, regular way, of one
share of Old Common Stock (rounded to the nearest ten thousandth) on the
American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") (as reported in the New York City edition of
the Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, another nationally
recognized source), or, in the event that the Common Stock is not listed on the
AMEX, the daily average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices in the
domestic over-the counter market as reported by the National Quotations Bureau
LLP, or any similar successor organization, in each case during the ten
consecutive trading day period ending on the second trading day prior to the
effectiveness of this amendment and restatement, by (b) the fraction resulting
from such conversion. The Company's exchange agent shall enter the fact of
cancellation of the old share certificate(s) for Old Common Stock and the
issuance of the new certificate(s) for New Common Stock and the appropriate name
or names of the holders of such shares represented by the new certificate(s) on
its stock records and transfer books. To the extent that the holders of the
shares of the Old Common Stock shall not present their shares for exchange in
the manner specified above, such failure to act shall in no circumstance affect
their status as holders of the New Common Stock or the validity of their shares,
except that each certificate they hold after the effective date of this
amendment and restatement that prior thereto represented shares of the Old
Common Stock shall be deemed to represent the appropriate number as determined
above of the authorized and outstanding shares of the New Common Stock for every
purpose, or, in the case of fractional shares of New Common Stock, shall be
deemed to represent the right to receive cash in lieu thereof as determined
above.

         5. The Articles of Incorporation are hereby superseded by the following
amended and restated articles of incorporation which accurately copy the entire
text thereof, as amended as set forth in these amended and restated articles of
incorporation:

breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders,

the directors to the corporation or an act or omission that involves intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) an act or omission for which
