This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws,
Bone Graft, and the positive effects such final approval is anticipated to have for patients, surgeons and
our business, our plans to address the FDA inspection requirements set forth in the approvable letter, our
revised 2014 guidance, and the potential for future growth in our business. These statements reflect

product quality or patient safety issues have an adverse impact on our product development plans, the
risk that we are unable to achieve our operations targets for the balance of fiscal 2014; and the
additional risks and uncertainties are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (including those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

Bone Graft –
A Breakthrough Product!
•
In the North American pivotal trial, Augment
demonstrated equivalent safety & efficacy and less
pain compared to autograft.
•
Recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor
(rhPDGF) intended to provide biological stimulus for in-
growth and proliferation of osteoblasts (cells
responsible for bone formation)
•
Beta-tricalcium phosphate (
TCP) provides a
framework or scaffold for new bone growth to occur
•
Avoids unwanted bone formation in surrounding tissues
observed with BMP-based products
First
clinically proven, cost-effective alternative to autograft for
ankle and/or hindfoot fusion indications

Compelling Value Proposition

In ankle and/or hindfoot fusion procedures, delayed
union / nonunion still a major concern
•
Current literature suggests
nonunion rates for ankle/hindfoot
fusions are ~15-20%
(1)
•
Much higher rates (16-41%) in high
risk groups
(2)
:
–
smokers
–
diabetics
–
revision surgery
–
post-traumatics
•
Both a mechanical and biological
problem

2. Frey et al, Foot Ankle Int 1994; Perlman and Thordarson, Foot Ankle Int 1999; Myers et al, Foot Ankle Intl 2012 

Autograft has been used to enhance fusion rates
•
Stimulates the biological
healing process
•
Fills any joint irregularities
(voids/gaps)
•
Acts as a scaffold for new                    
bone formation

Iliac Crest Autograft Harvest

But autograft comes with a price…
Harvest site
pain
•
~12% of patients who received autograft in Augment pivotal
trial had clinically significant harvest site pain at 24 weeks
•
~9% had clinically significant harvest site pain at 52 weeks
Increases
Complication
Potential
(1-4)
•
Up to 49% complication rate for iliac crest bone graft
•
Potential for more serious complications and infections
Higher
Procedure
Costs
•
Direct costs to harvest autograft include additional
surgeon/anesthesia/clinician time and instruments
•
Indirect cost of complications can further increase cost
Variable Quality
•
Variable quality across donor sites
•
Especially
problematic
for
compromised
patients
–
diabetics,
smokers, osteoporotics, elderly, etc.; these represent a
significant portion of foot & ankle patient population
