Large Joint Market Upper Extremities
Worldwide Orthopedic Market
Business Planning / Reporting
• The worldwide orthopedic market generates over $20 billion in global revenue, with the large joint (hip, knee, and spine) market
representing the large share of the total market.
• The large joint market is generally characterized as stable, competitive, and challenging, related to pricing pressures, procedure deferrals,
payer pushback, supply cost containment at hospitals, higher co-pays, and COBRA.
• The extremities market is pegged at roughly $2.4 billion and is underserved relative to the large joint market. Most large orthopedic
companies (J&J, Zimmer, Stryker, and Smith & Nephew) have weak offerings in the extremities market. Although the extremities market
faced macroeconmic headwinds like its larger joint brethren, the overall growth rate continues to be in the high single-digit (some argue low
double-digit) range, which offers a nice respite from the other challenging ortho markets.

Extremities Market Overview
Business Planning / Reporting
The extremities market is relatively more rosey than in hips and knees,
given younger patients, private payors that are less affected by Medicare
reimbursement, a largely untapped revision pool, and generally lower
penetration rates.
While growth rates may have slowed related to deferrals of elective
procedures and lower price increases (analysts suggest it is hard to tell
since the market is highly fragmented), growth is still relatively attractive,
hovering in the high single-digit range.

Hips, Knees, Spine Extremities
• According to ThinkEquity, the size of the U.S. extremity hardware market is estimated at approximately $1 billion
(70% foot & ankle, with the balance hand, wrist, and elbow), growing at an 8% CAGR.
• A late 2011 survey of extremity surgeons conducted by RBC Capital Markets also points to relative stability in the
upper extremity market with expectations for high single-digit to low double-digit growth.
Given the comparable growth rates to the other large joint markets, the stocks that participate in this sector (i.e.,
Tornier, Integra LifeSciences, and Wright Medical) are garnering quite a bit of attention (as evidenced by Tornier’s
premium valuation), and the companies that do not have a stalwart portfolio (i.e., Zimmer, Stryker, etc.) seem to be
making forays into this segment.
• Management @ Zimmer announced an anatomical combined shoulder adapter at the American Academy of
Orthopedic Surgeons
• Stryker suggested on its 4Q11 conference call that it will be investing in shoulders
Extremities Market Commentary
Business Planning / Reporting
“The upper extremity market, which is how we categorize shoulder
and elbow and the hand and the wrist, we believe that the market is
growing at a 10% to 12% rate. And others may agree with that, they
may disagree with that, but we see that as a solid double-digit market
grower.” Tornier 4Q11 Earnings Call on February 23, 2012
“Our pricing in the fourth quarter held up very nicely and we anticipate
those trends will continue.” Tornier 4Q11 Earnings Call on February
23, 2012
“During the fourth quarter, we did not see any deterioration in the
growth profile of the Foot and Ankle market, and we continue to
believe that this market is currently growing approximately 8%.”
Wright Medical 4Q11 Earnings Call on February 23, 2012
“Extremities has slowed down some but clearly it is still kind of the
shining star in the space.” Integra LifeSciences 4Q11 Earnings Call

Extremities Growth Opportunities
Business Planning / Reporting
An increasing foot and ankle surgeon base should enable growth in the US foot market. • An AAOS surgeon survey showed that only 10% of orthopedic surgeons identified the foot and ankle as one of their
specialties versus nearly 3.5x as many for adult knees
• This number is expected to increase as better implant technology expands the market size (big players spending on
R&D in this area given relatively low competition)
Increasing coverage for US total ankle replacement. • Reimbursement issues have constrained growth in the total ankle replacement market is the past, as most insurers
consider this procedure experimental
• Now, some are considering this procedure medically necessary
There is a very strong patient demographic tailwind, as roughly 1.3 million people will turn 65 each
year between now and 2015.
Should the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act pass, roughly 32 million individuals may
gain access to health care.
Despite persistent pressures in the U.S. and Europe, emerging markets are starting to gain traction,
with most attention paid to China, Brazil, and India. • China is by far the most attractive market opportunity, given the size of the population, upward mobility, increasing
government spending, and migration to urban centers
Private equity could step into the orthopedic market with the companies trading at historical lows. • Notably, all are trading at discounts to where Biomet and KCI sold to private equity and depending on leverage ratios
and exit multiples, the Med Tech stocks are becoming attractive targets with potential returns in the 20-30% range

Extremities Risk Factors
Business Planning / Reporting
Increased competition in the extremity market could hamper growth. • The extremity market is one of the faster growing markets in orthopedics and has begun to gain the
attention of the larger manufacturers. This increased attention may not be favorable if companies build out
their extremity business internally rather than through acquisition.
A MedTech excise tax is slated to begin in 2013. • This is a 2.3% tax on all U.S. device sales. The impact across the sector will be significant, particularly for
small-cap companies.
European volumes may drop off with new austerity measures in place to reign in public spending. • For example, Greece enacted measures to cut spending on medical devices by 25% over two years.
There are key structural changes underway in healthcare, including shift of burden to consumer,
cost consciousness among hospitals, decreasing reimbursement, and hospital consolidation, among
others.
The FDA approval process is “difficult” and expensive as there is a need for clinical and economic
data to demonstrate utility and the adoption of new technologies.
Heading into 2012, key macro indicators remain largely negative. • US real GDP growth is still struggling
• Consumer confidence (which is correlated to physician office visits) is showing improvement but off historic
lows
• Still high unemployment

Consolidation is expected to draw interest in smaller M&A candidates, particularly in the more highly
fragmented extremities market. The 10-year average EV / sales and EV / EBITDA multiples are 4x and 19x,
respectively. The average premium paid has been nearly 50%.
