Contents: • Project Objectives 2 • Methodology & Sample 3 • Executive Summary 4-7 • Detailed Findings 8-26 • Current Use of Hip Replacements 9-11 • Hard-on-Hard Bearing Hip Replacements 12-16 • Hip Resurfacing 16-26
Study Objectives Primary Objective: Understand the current and future markets for hip resurfacing Specific Objectives: • Determine background information regarding current practice procedures used by the respondents • Evaluate the current uses of hard-on-hard bearing hip implants • Examine the possible future market for hip resurfacing procedures • Identify levels of risk associated with the use of hip resurfacing procedures
Methodology & Sample Survey Specifics: A 10-minute self-administered survey was fielded online via MedPanel’s Web site November 13-14, 2006. Sample: The total sample comprises 50 orthopedic surgeons selected from MedPanel’s U.S. database. • To qualify, respondents were required to meet the following criteria: • Have been in practice between 2 and 30 years (mean: 16.9 years, range: 3-30) • Spend at least 75% of their professional time in clinical practice (mean: 98%)
Executive Summary • Current Use of Hip Replacements • Over 50% of respondents currently are using primary hip implants manufactured by Johnson & Johnson and Stryker • Hard-on Hard Bearing Hip Replacements • Orthopedic surgeons indicated that 18% of their primary hip implants are hard-on-hard bearing implants • Surgeons reported a 54% increase in procedures using hard-on-hard bearing implants over the past year • 20% of respondents selected 56-60 years as the age cut-off category for hard-on-hard bearing implants • On a scale from 1-5, respondents rated somewhat favorably large-head metal-on-metal designs used for hip resurfacing; score of 3 out of 5 • 76% of respondents agreed with the statement that younger, active patients are well served by current hard-on-hard designs, emphasizing better wear, better longevity, and better stability of this design
Executive Summary • Hip Resurfacing • Orthopedic surgeons said that 20% of primary hips will use a resurfacing implant five years from now • Physicians reported a somewhat moderate level of interest of their patients in hip resurfacing procedures; score of 2.7 out of 5 • Respondents stated that the availability of hip resurfacing will be somewhat influential on the decision of young patients; score of 3 out of 5 • 52% of orthopedic surgeons indicated that 10 procedures is the learning curve for the process of resurfacing • Over 50% of respondents said that hip resurfacing will make future revisions easier • 64% of respondents mentioned they are somewhat concerned about the risk of femoral neck fracture with hip resurfacing
Executive Summary • Hip Resurfacing (continued) • 64% of orthopedic surgeons are somewhat concerned about the rise in systemic metal ion concentrations with metal-on-metal implants • 44% of physicians are unsure whether clinical benefits of hip resurfacing will outweigh the risks associated with it • 54% of respondents said they plan to be trained on hip resurfacing prior to availability of hip resurfacing products • Orthopedic surgeons most commonly selected Stryker as the vendor of the product to be trained on
Survey DetailsCurrent Use of Hip Replacements Practice Location (n=50) Hip Replacement Procedures per Year: Mean: 56 (Range: 6-150) Q1. Please select your location of practice. Q2. In a typical year, approximately how many hip replacements do you perform?

Survey DetailsHard-on Hard Bearing Hip Replacements One-fifth of respondents selected 56-60 years as the age cut-off category for hard-on-hard bearing implants. Hard-on-Hard Bearing Age Cut-Off (n=50) Years of age Q6. What is the rule of thumb age cut-off for hard-on-hard bearing implants?
Survey DetailsHard-on Hard Bearing Hip Replacements On a scale from 1-5, respondents rated neutrally large-head metal-on-metal designs used for hip resurfacing, giving them the score of 3 out of 5. Overall Impression of Metal-on-Metal Bearings (n=50) Mean 3.06 Q7.
