financial position.

For the three months ended March 31, 1998, options to purchase 456,600 shares of
common stock at prices ranging from $6.25 to $9.00 per share were outstanding
but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options'
exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

For the three months ended March 31, 1999, there were 531,358 options to
purchase shares of common stock at prices ranging from $3.28 to $9.00 per share
outstanding. All of the options were included in the computation of diluted EPS
because all of the options' exercise prices were less than the average market
price of the common shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein, and the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998.

    The Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells orthopaedic implant
devices and related surgical instrumentation, as well as, provides OpteFORM(TM)
bone graft material to hospitals and physicians. Sales of hip implant products
historically accounted for most of the Company's revenues and profits; however,
since 1995, sales of knee implant products have accounted for an increasing
portion of its revenues and profits. The Company anticipates that sales of knee
implant products will continue to account for a major portion of its revenues
and profits, with OpteFORM(TM) becoming increasingly important in the Company's
product lines.

    The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information with
respect to the number of units of the Company's products sold and the dollar
amount and percentages of revenues derived from such sales (dollars in
thousands):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

      Net sales increased by $1,850,822, or 35%, to $7,168,417 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, from $5,317,595 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The
increase in net sales resulted from increased unit and dollar volume of both the
Company's knee and hip implant products, as well as strong growth in tissue
service revenue from the OpteFORM(TM) bone grafting material. Sales of knee
implant products increased by 14% on a unit basis and by 22% on a dollar basis
from the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Sales
of hip

<PAGE>

implant products increased by 13% on a unit basis and by 19% on a dollar basis
from the quarter ended March 31, 1998, to the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
Company believes that the increase in hip sales is a result of its continuing
focus on the marketing of its hip product lines, specifically the AuRA(R)
comprehensive cemented hip system. International sales comprised 15% of the
Company's total sales in the first quarter of 1999 as compared to 20% in the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.

    Gross profit increased by $1,185,150, or 33%, to $4,770,336 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, from $3,585,186 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
primarily as a result of an increase in total sales. As a percentage of sales,
gross profit decreased slightly to 66.5% in the quarter ended March 31, 1999,
from 67.4% in the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The profit margin decrease was
primarily the result of an increase, as a percentage of total revenue, of
OpteFORM(TM) which is distributed at a slightly lower margin than the Company's
implant products.

    Total operating expenses increased by $832,369, or 31%, to $3,560,690 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $2,728,321 in the quarter ended March 31,
1998. Sales and marketing expenses, the largest component of total operating
expenses, increased by $500,618, or 36%, to $1,897,555 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, from $1,396,937 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Sales and
marketing expenses, as a percentage of sales, remained steady at 26% in the
quarters ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998. The Company's sales and
marketing expenses are largely variable costs based on sales levels, with the
largest component being commissions.

    General and administrative expenses increased by $170,374, or 38%, to
$617,295 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $446,921 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, primarily as a result of additional costs associated with the
Company's increased shareholder relations efforts and information systems
improvements. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were
8.6% and 8.4% in the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    Research and development expenses decreased by $15,422, or 4.5%, to $324,830
in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $340,252 in the quarter ended March
31, 1998, primarily as a result of the timing of costs associated with ongoing
research projects. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses
were 4.5% and 6.4% in the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    Depreciation and amortization increased to $373,907 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, from $264,336 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, primarily as
a result of the increased investment in manufacturing equipment, surgical
instrumentation, and information technology. During the quarter ended March 31,
1999, $906,048 of such equipment was placed in service, resulting in the
increase in depreciation expense.

    Royalty expenses increased by $67,228 to $347,103 in the quarter ended March
31, 1999, from $279,875 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, primarily as a
result of growth in sales. As a percentage of sales, royalty expenses were 4.8%
and 5.3% in the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    The Company's income from operations increased by $352,781, or 41%, to
$1,209,646 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $856,865 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1998, primarily as a result of increase in sales, which outpaced
the growth in operating expenses.

    The Company incurred net interest expense of $31,707 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, as compared to $1,248 of interest income in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. The increase was the result of lower interest income from
unexpended revenue bond proceeds to offset charges associated with industrial
revenue bond (IRB) debt financing for construction of the Company's new
facility. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, interest income of $22,356 was
offset by $54,063 of interest expense.

    Income before provision for income taxes increased by $319,826, or 37%, to
$1,177,939 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, from $858,113 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1998. The provision for income taxes was $465,286 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, compared to $351,314 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

    As a result, the Company realized net income of $712,653 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, compared to $506,799 in the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
a 41% increase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through
borrowings, the sale of equity securities and cash flow from operations. At
March 31, 1999, the Company had working capital of $15,974,120 compared to
$15,867,747 at December 31, 1998. The increase in working capital is primarily
the result of an increase in sales with the associated reduction in inventory.
As a result of operating, investing and financing activities, cash and cash
equivalents at March 31, 1999 increased to $1,146,150 from $662,652 at December
31, 1998. The Company maintains a $6,000,000 credit facility with Merrill Lynch
Business Financial Services, Inc. which is secured by accounts receivable and
inventory and expires in June 2000. At March 31, 1999, there was no amount
outstanding under the line of credit. The Company believes that funds from
operations and borrowings under its existing credit facilities will be
sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash requirements for the following
twelve months.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

    Operating activities provided net cash of $1,498,437 in the three months
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to using net cash of $203,654 in the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The primary reason for the change was the $246,171
decrease in inventory in the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to
the $647,826 increase in inventory that occurred in the three months ended March
31, 1998. Prepaid expenses decreased $172,825 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 from an increase of $162,792 in the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Another reason for the change was a larger increase in depreciation and
amortization to $368,099 in the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $264,336
in the three months ended March 31, 1998. Cash required as a result of the
increase in trade receivables was $471,158, for the three month period ended
March 31, 1999, as compared to $590,726, for the three month period ended March
31, 1998.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

    The Company used net cash in investing activities of $1,122,365 in the three
months ended March 31, 1999, primarily due to the investment of $962,898 in
property and equipment, and the final payment of $150,000 for the purchase of a
product license. As of March 31, 1999, the remaining proceeds of $866,458 from
the Company's Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB) were invested in short-term
maturities with an average yield of 4.4%.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

      Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 provided
net cash of $107,426 as compared to $228,119 in the three months ended March 31,
1998. The primary reason for the decrease in cash provided by financing
activities was the Company's financing of annual insurance premiums in a net
amount of $229,325 during the three month period ended March 31, 1998. The
Company did not finance insurance premiums during the period ended March 31,
1999. Proceeds from the exercise of outstanding stock options provided cash of
$108,879 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

YEAR 2000

      The inability of computers, software and other equipment utilizing
microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields containing a 2
digit year is commonly referred to as the Year 2000 Compliance issue. As the
year 2000 approaches, such systems may be unable to accurately process certain
date-based information.

      The Company has identified all significant applications that will require
modification to ensure Year 2000 Compliance, as part of the Company's Year 2000
Compliance Plan. Internal and external resources are being used to make the
required modifications and test Year 2000 Compliance. The modification process
of all significant applications is substantially complete. The Company plans on
completing the testing process of all significant applications by June 30, 1999.

      In addition, the Company has communicated with suppliers with whom it does
significant business to determine their Year 2000 Compliance readiness and the
extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any third party Year 2000 issues.
The Company received acceptable responses from these suppliers as to their
readiness; however, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted, or that
a failure to convert by another company, or a conversion that is incompatible
with the Company's systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

      The total cost to the Company of these Year 2000 Compliance activities has
not been and is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or
results of operations in any given year. These costs, estimated to be less than
$10,000, and the date on which the Company plans to complete the Year 2000
modification and testing processes are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including the
continued availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and
other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be
achieved and actual results could differ from those plans.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

      The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning
future events, including, but not limited to, statements regarding growth in
sales of the Company's products, profit margins and the sufficiency of the
Company's cash flow for its future liquidity and capital resource needs. These
forward looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements. These factors include, without limitation, the effect of competitive
pricing, the Company's dependence on the ability of its third-party
manufacturers to produce components on a basis which is cost-effective to the
Company, market acceptance of the Company's products and the effects of
governmental regulation. Results actually achieved may differ materially from
expected results included in these statements as a result of these or other
factors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      The Company is exposed to market risk from interest rates. For its cash
and cash equivalents, a change in interest rates effects the amount of interest
income that can be earned. For its debt instruments, changes in interest rates
effect the amount of interest expense incurred.

      Since the year ended December 31, 1998, there have not been any material
changes in the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in
interest rates.
