New heading “We have a limited operating history and face an evolving pace of growth. If we fail to scale our business effectively, our business could be materially and adversely affected.”

New heading “Our sales have been and may continue to be adversely affected due to larger competitors utilizing their established contracts and dominant market positions in unrelated service lines to induce customers to buy their bunion correction systems instead of our products through purchase commitments, rebate payments and/or volume-based pricing agreements.”

New heading “We rely in part on independent sales agencies and stocking distributors to sell our products to customers, and if we are unable to maintain an effective network of independent sales agencies and stocking distributors, we may not achieve our anticipated revenue growth.”

We are and may be involved in additional lawsuits or other proceedings to protect or enforce our intellectual property, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful. If we were to lose intellectual property lawsuits or other proceedings, our intellectual property rights would be impaired and, if we were found to infringe, violate or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of others, a court could require us to pay significant damages and/or prevent us from selling our products.

Removed

We may seek to grow our business through acquisitions or investments in new or complementary businesses, products or technologies, through the licensing of products or technologies from third parties, or through other strategic alliances. The failure to manage acquisitions, investments, licenses or other strategic alliances or the failure to integrate them with our existing business could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, dilute our stockholders' ownership, increase our debt, or cause us to incur significant expense.

Reworded

Our relationships with customers, physiciansphysicians, other health care providers, and third-party payors are subject to federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws, false claims laws, physician payment transparency laws and other health care laws and regulations. If we or our employees, independent contractors, consultants, service providers, or vendors violate these laws, we could face substantial penalties.

Removed

Our brand and reputation may be diminished due to real or perceived issues with the Lapiplasty Procedure or our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Removed

We have in the past been and may in the future be subject to short-selling strategies that may drive down the market price of our common stock and negatively affect our reputation.

Reworded

We incurred net losses in each period since we commenced operations. For 20242025 and 2023,2024, we incurred net losses of $55.7($59.0) million and $49.5($55.7) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $190.0$249.0 million and $54.0$60.0 million of principal outstanding under our term and revolving loan agreements. We expect to continue to incur significant sales and marketing, medical education, product development, clinical and regulatory, sales and marketing, medical education, and other expenses. These efforts and additional expenses may be more costly than we expect, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain or increase our revenue to offset such expenses. Furthermore, as we focus on achieving profitability metrics, we have and may continue to constrain investments in marketing or sales initiatives and take other actions that slow the pace of revenue growth. Our revenue may also decline or our revenue growth may be constrained for a number of reasons, including reduced demand for our products and services, increased competition or if we cannot capitalize on growth opportunities. We will need to generate significant additional revenue to achieve and sustain profitability and, even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time. Our failure to achieve or sustain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.

Reworded

If we are unable to successfully market and sell our existing and new products, our revenues and market growth may not increase or may otherwise be adversely affected. Wewe may be unable to maintain and grow our revenue or earnings as anticipated, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Reworded

While we have experienced significant revenue growth since our inception, our revenue growth has slowed in recent years, and our ability to achieve future revenue growth will depend upon, among other things, the successeffectiveness of our growth strategies and acceptance of our existing and new products, which may not be as successful as anticipated. We have experienced and may continue to experience difficulty maintaining our historical or prior rate of growth of revenues. Our future success and revenue growth will depend upon numerous factors, including the successful market successadoption and distribution of our current and future products, the effectiveness of our surgeon and patient education initiatives, competitive conditions, our ability to attract and retain employees, results of clinical studies, and our ability to manage our business and implement our growth strategy. If we are unable to achieve future growth, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Removed

We have a limited operating history and have grown significantly in a short period of time. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

Removed

We formed as a medical device consulting business in July 2013 and began focusing on the foot and ankle market in January 2014. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects. Our operating results have fluctuated in the past, and we expect our future quarterly and annual operating results to continue to fluctuate as we focus on introducing new products, increasing the demand for our products and continuing to develop clinical evidence to support the safety and efficacy of our Lapiplasty, Adductoplasty and other systems. We may need to make business decisions that could adversely affect our operating results, such as modifications to our pricing strategy, business structure or operations.

Removed

In addition, we have experienced rapid growth over the past 5 years and anticipate further growth in the future. For example, the number of our full-time employees increased from 32 as of December 31, 2017 to 477 as of December 31, 2024. This growth has placed significant demands on our management, financial, operational, technological and other resources, and we expect that our growth will continue to place significant demands on our management and other resources and will require us to continue developing and improving our operational, financial and other internal controls. In particular, continued growth increases the challenges involved in a number of areas, including recruiting and retaining sufficient skilled personnel for our direct employee sales force, providing adequate training and supervision to maintain our high-quality standards and preserving our culture and values. We may not be able to address these challenges in a cost-effective manner, or at all. To achieve our revenue goals, we must also successfully increase our supply of products from third party manufacturers to meet expected customer demand. In the future, we may experience difficulties with quality control, component supply and shortages of qualified personnel, among other problems. These problems could result in delays in product availability and increases in expenses. Any such delay or increased expense could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue. In addition, rapid and significant growth will place a strain on our administrative and operational infrastructure. In order to manage our operations and growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational and management controls, hiring process, reporting and information technology systems and financial internal control procedures. If we do not effectively manage our growth, we may not be able to execute on our business plan, respond to competitive pressures, take advantage of market opportunities, satisfy customer requirements or maintain high-quality product offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

Under the terms of our loan agreements discussed in more detail within Note 7, "Long Term Debt," of the Notes to the Financial Statements, we are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including (but not limited to), financial covenants related to minimum revenue and minimum liquidity and covenants limiting our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into a change of control transaction and make certain distributions and investments without our lenders' consent. Our lenders may also declare us in default for certain types of events such as non-payment of debts, inaccurate representations and warranties, failure to comply with terms of material indebtedness and material agreements, bankruptcy and insolvency, a change of control and/or a material adverse change. Upon such events, our lenders could declare an event of default, which would give them the right to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, our lenders would have the right to proceed against the assets we provided as collateral under the loan agreements. For example, under our termloan and security agreement (the "term loan") with SLR Investment Corp ("SLRIC") and the credit agreement (the "revolving loan agreements") with entitiesGemino affiliatedHealthcare Finance, LLC d/b/a SLR Healthcare ABL ("SLR ABL" and collectively with MidCapSLRIC, Financial Trust ("MidCapSLR"), MidCapSLR would have the right to enforce liens and security interests in substantially all of our assets (including intellectual property) in the event of certain specified defaults under the loans with MidCap.SLR. If the debt under any of our loan agreements is accelerated, we may not have sufficient cash or be able to sell sufficient assets to repay this debt or may have to curtail our growth plans, which would harm our business and financial condition.

Added

We have a limited operating history and face an evolving pace of growth. If we fail to scale our business effectively, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

Added

We formed as a medical device consulting business in July 2013 and began focusing on the foot and ankle market in January 2014. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects. Our operating results have fluctuated in the past, and we expect our future quarterly and annual operating results to continue to fluctuate as we focus on introducing new products, optimizing our sales channel, increasing the demand for our products and continuing to develop clinical evidence to support the safety and efficacy of our systems. We may need to make business decisions that could adversely affect our operating results, such as modifications to our pricing strategy, business structure or operations.

Added

In addition, we have experienced both rapid and slowing growth over the past 8 years. For example, the number of our full-time employees increased from 32 as of December 31, 2017 to 516 as of December 31, 2023 to 449 as of December 31, 2025. The pace of this growth has challenged and is expected to continue to challenge how we manage our management, financial, operational, technological and other resources. In particular, slowing growth increases the challenges involved in a number of areas, including implementing changes to right-size expenses, recruiting and retaining sufficient skilled personnel, and preserving our culture and values. We may not be able to address these challenges in a cost-effective manner, or at all. To achieve our revenue and profitability goals, we must also successfully manage our supply of products from third party manufacturers to match variable customer demand. In addition, we are transforming our business from a Lapiplasty company to a comprehensive bunion solutions company with many more products to order, inspect, track and manage. In the future, we may experience difficulties with quality control, component supply and shortages of qualified personnel, among other problems. These problems could result in delays in product availability and increases in expenses. Any such delay or increased expense could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue. If we do not effectively scale our expenses to match our revenue growth, we may not be able to execute on our business plan, respond to competitive pressures, take advantage of market opportunities, satisfy customer requirements or maintain high-quality product offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

Based on our current business plan, we believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and available debt borrowings under our new loan facilities will allow us to continue our planned operations for at least the next 12 months. If these sources of funding are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, including because of lower demand for our products as a result of the risks described in this Annual Report, we may require additional capital to maintain and expand our operations. We plan to continue to invest our capital in expanding product offerings, our sales force, and continuing our surgeon education, research and development efforts, product offerings, sales force, surgeon education and direct to consumer education programs. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock, and our existing stockholders may experience dilution. Any additional debt financing secured by us in the future could require that a substantial portion of our operating cash flow be devoted to the payment of interest and principal on such indebtedness, which may decrease available funds for other business activities, and could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, if and when needed, we may not be able to grow our business or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could seriously harm our business.

Reworded

Our existing products and procedures are, and any new products or procedures we develop and commercialize will be subject to intense competition. The industry in which we operate is competitive, subject to change and sensitive to the introduction of new products, procedures or other market activities of industry participants. Increasingly competitors are entering into the tri-planar bunion correction market with new instruments and implants to compete with the Lapiplasty System. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on our ability to continue to train surgeons on our Lapiplasty, Adductoplasty, Nanoplasty, and Percuplasty Procedures and gain their acceptance of these procedures, develop additional products and procedures to improve these procedures and expand our product offerings to reach the market in a timely manner, receive adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors and provide products that are easier to use, safer, less invasive and more effective than the products and procedures of our competitors. In addition, our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our products will depend to a significant extent on our ability to optimize and expand our sales team and marketing efforts. We have dedicated and plan to continue to dedicate significant resources to our marketingsales force and surgeon and patient education programs. It will negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations if our sales and marketing efforts and expenditures do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue. In addition, we believe that developing and maintaining broad awareness of our products in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving broad acceptance of our products and expanding domestically and internationally. Promotional activities may not generate patient or physician awareness or increase revenue, and even if they do, any increase in revenue may not offset the costs and expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote, maintain and protect our brand, we may fail to attract or retain the surgeon acceptance necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand building efforts, or to achieve the level of brand awareness that is critical for broad adoption of our products.

Our competition includes medical device manufacturers in the orthopaedic foot and ankle market. Stryker Corporation is currently the leader in the orthopaedic foot and ankle market and has significant market share. Additional companies operating in the orthopaedic foot and ankle market with products specifically focused on bunion surgery include the following large companies: Arthrex, Inc., Paragon 28, Inc.Inc., (whichits hasparent entered an agreement and plan of merger to be acquired by a subsidiary ofcompany Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.), CrossRoads Extremity Systems, owned byInc., DePuy Synthes Products, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, and its subsidiary CrossRoads Extremity Systems, Enovis Corporation, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., CONMED Corporation, Medartis Holdings AG,AG and its subsidiary Nextremity Solutions, Inc.; Medline Industries, Inc., Henry Schein, Inc., Gramercyand the following smaller companies: RELJA Innovations LLC, Extremity Medical, LLC, Forma Medical, Inc., Fusion Orthopedics, LLC, FusionSky Orthopedics,Surgical, LLCLLC, Vilex LLC, MedCAD F&A, LLC, Ossio Inc., and Voom Medical. While foot and ankle product sales represent a relatively small percentage of our larger competitors' overall sales, many recognize the growth opportunities in this market and have been active in product additions through both internal development efforts and acquisitions. We also face potential competition from many different sources, including academic institutions, governmental agencies and public and private research institutions.

Reworded

At any time, these competitors and other potential market entrants may develop new products, procedures or treatment alternatives that could render our products obsolete or uncompetitive. In addition, one or more of such competitors may gain a market advantage by developing and patenting competitive products, procedures or treatment alternatives earlier than we can, obtaining regulatory clearances or approvals more rapidly than we can or selling competitive products at prices lower than ours. If medical research were to lead to the discovery of alternative therapies or technologies that improve or cure bunions as an alternative to surgery, such as by natural correction of the unstable joint in the middle of the foot, the use of pharmaceuticals or breakthrough bio-technological innovations or therapies, our profitability could suffer through a reduction in sales or a loss in market share to a competitor. The discovery of methods of prevention or the development of other alternatives to our procedures could result in decreased demand for our products and, accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Many of our current and potential competitors have substantially greater sales and financial resources than we do. These competitors may also have more established distribution networks, a broader offering of products, entrenched relationships with hospitals, surgeons and distributors, or greater experience in launching, marketing, distributing and selling products or treatment alternatives. Some competitors bundle their bunion products with their broader product lines and offer rebates and discounts to customers based on purchases of the full bundle in exchange for a significant purchase commitment from the customer. This means that the customer is induced to buy the competitors' bunion products in order to meet the requirements to receive the rebate on the other product lines.

Added

Many of our current and potential competitors have substantially greater sales and financial resources than we do. The foot and ankle industry has consolidated significantly in the past few years, with many of our smaller competitors, including CrossRoads Extremity Systems, Paragon 28, Inc., In2Bones Global, Inc., Novastep Inc. and Nextremity Solutions, Inc. being acquired by significantly larger competitors. These larger competitors may have more established distribution networks, a broader offering of products, entrenched relationships with hospitals, surgeons and distributors, or greater experience in launching, marketing, distributing and selling products or treatment alternatives. Some competitors have established relationships with certain types of customers, such as integrated delivery networks ("IDNs"), which are groups of healthcare providers such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other outpatient care facilities that collectively provide comprehensive and "integrated" customer care for virtually all types of procedures and healthcare needs, or group purchasing organizations ("GPOs"), which negotiate agreements that an IDN may adopt through its membership in the GPO. Some competitors bundle their bunion products with their broader product lines and offer rebates and discounts to customers based on purchases of the full bundle in exchange for a significant purchase commitment from the customer. This means that the customer is induced to buy the competitors' bunion products in order to meet the requirements to receive the rebate on the other product lines.

Reworded

We also compete with our competitors to hire sales representatives and engage the services of independent sales agencies.agencies and stocking distributors. In addition, we compete with our competitors in acquiring technologies and technology licenses complementary to our products or procedures or advantageous to our business. If we are unable to compete successfully against our existing or potential competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected, and we may not be able to grow at our expected rate, if at all.

Added

Our sales have been and may continue to be adversely affected due to larger competitors utilizing their established contracts and dominant market positions in unrelated service lines to induce customers to buy their bunion correction systems instead of our products through purchase commitments, rebate payments and/or volume-based pricing agreements.

Added

Certain of our competitors have a dominant market position in medical devices with broad product lines. For example, Stryker Corporation has a dominant market position in the service line for trauma products with IDNs. More than half of instrumented TMT bunion procedures nationwide are performed at an IDN-affiliated hospital or surgical center. Some competitors, including Stryker Corporation, bundle their surgical bunion products with their broader unrelated product lines and offer rebates and discounts to customers based on purchases of the full bundle in exchange for a significant purchase commitment from the customer. This means that the customer is induced to buy the competitors' bunion products in order to meet the requirements to receive the rebate or discount on the unrelated product lines. Due to the amount that customers spend on the competitor's broad product line, these rebates or volume-based discounts on a competitor's unrelated products may be greater than the total amount paid for our products. We have experienced and may continue to experience customers reducing or ceasing their purchases of our products to meet commitments or achieve rebate levels from larger competitors who have bundled their bunion products with unrelated product lines. If competitors' product bundling practices continue to induce customers to reduce or stop purchasing our products, our sales will decrease, and our financial results will be adversely affected.

Added

Sales of the Lapiplasty System accounted for the majority of our revenues in 2025 and prior years. The Lapiplasty System is experiencing lower sales primarily due to evolving surgeon preferences for minimally invasive osteotomy procedures for less severe bunions, competition, lower patient demand for elective bunion surgery due to macroeconomic conditions, and an increasing percentage of elective bunion surgeries being performed in ambulatory surgery centers. While we began the full commercial launch of our new Nanoplasty, Percuplasty and SpeedMTP systems in the second half of 2025 and began to see increases in surgical case volumes, these products sell at lower prices and are in the early stages of adoption. Accordingly, the Lapiplasty System is expected to continue to account for a significant percentage of our revenue for the next several years. Our ability to execute our growth strategy and become profitable will therefore depend upon the continuing use by surgeons, patients, payors, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities, among others, of the Lapiplasty System to correct bunions and the market acceptance and growth of our other existing and new products. The pace of use of the Lapiplasty System may continue to slow, and we may not be able to continue to penetrate the bunion surgery market for the reasons discussed in this "Risk Factors" section. We cannot ensure that the Lapiplasty System will continue to maintain, or that our other existing and new products will achieve, broad market acceptance among surgeons, patients, payors, hospitals and healthcare facilities. Since our business has a limited product line based primarily on the Lapiplasty System, any slowdown or setback in market adoption of the Lapiplasty System and our other existing and new products will negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

If we fail to continue to develop and retain an effective direct sales force as well asand sales management and sales specialist teams, it could negatively impact our sales,revenues, and we may not generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability.

Reworded

Our revenue and profitability isare directly dependent upon the sales and marketing efforts of our sales representatives, sales management and sales specialistcontracting teams. To expand our business, we have built and are continuing to build and optimize a substantial direct employee sales force supported by sales management and salesnational specialistcontracting teams. We have made and are continuing to make a significant investmentinvestments in recruiting and training sales representatives and clinical representatives as we expand our business. There is significant competition for sales personnel experienced in relevant medical device sales. Once hired, the training process is lengthy because it requires significant education for new sales representatives and clinical innovation specialists to achieve the level of clinical competency with our products expected by surgeons. Upon completion of the training, our sales representatives typically require lead time in the field to grow their network of accounts and achieve the productivity levels we expect them to reach in any individual territory. Furthermore, the use of our products often requires or benefits from direct support from us, including through our experienced sales representatives that provide assistance in the operating room. Beginning in 2024 and continuing in 2025, we have sought to add experienced foot and ankle sales representatives to our team and enhance accountability for achieving sales activity metrics. This has led to turnover and may have affected our revenue. We are also making changes in our sales commission and territory structures. While we believe that these changes will lead to a stronger sales team and performance in the future, we cannot guarantee that sales will increase or that the new sales personnel will continue with us, particularly after their initial commission guarantee periods end. Our future success depends largely on our ability to continue to hire, train, retain and motivate skilled members of our sales management and sales specialistrepresentative teams with significant technical knowledge in various areas and to provide them with a product portfolio generating surgeon interest and commission payments sufficient to meet the sales representatives' desired compensation levels. If we are unable to continue to attract, motivate, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales personnel, and if our sales representatives do not achieve the productivity levels we expect them to reach, our revenue will not grow at the rate we expect, or at all, and our financial performance will suffer. Also, to the extent we hire personnel from our competitors, we may have to wait until applicable non-competition provisions have expired before deploying such personnel in restricted territories or incur costs to relocate personnel outside of such territories, and we have been in the past, and may be subject to future allegations that these new hires have been improperly solicited, and that they have divulged to us proprietary or other confidential information of their former employers. Additionally, because the market for experienced sales personnel is competitive, our competitors have hired and may continue to try to hire our sales personnel away from us. As a result, we have dedicated and will continue to dedicate resources to recruiting, filling and training those vacant positions. Any of these risks may adversely affect our business.

Added

Furthermore, when we hire personnel from our competitors, we must wait until applicable non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions have expired before deploying such personnel in restricted territories or incur costs to relocate personnel outside of such territories, which means that we have salary and other costs for those personnel that are not offset by corresponding increases in revenue. We and our employees are currently, and may continue in the future to be, subject to allegations that these new hires have violated their non-solicitation or non-competition covenants, have been improperly solicited, or have divulged to us proprietary or other confidential information of their former employers. Defending against these allegations is time-consuming, expensive and diverts the attention of our personnel. Additionally, because the market for experienced sales personnel is competitive, our competitors have hired and may continue to try to hire our sales personnel away from us. As a result, we have dedicated and will continue to dedicate resources to recruiting, filling and training those vacant positions. Any of these risks may adversely affect our business.

Added

We rely in part on independent sales agencies and stocking distributors to sell our products to customers, and if we are unable to maintain an effective network of independent sales agencies and stocking distributors, we may not achieve our anticipated revenue growth.

Added

We utilize a hybrid sales organization with a mix of employee sales personnel, independent sales agencies and stocking distributors to sell our products and to assist us in promoting market acceptance of, and creating demand for, our products by surgeons, hospitals, clinics, medical practices, and other customers. As part of our strategy for 2025, we began utilizing a limited number of stocking distributors to provide access to their established customer base, to build loyalty to our products, and to expand into an additional sales channel. We recognize revenues from the sale to a stocking distributor, which are made at a discount and generally on longer payment terms than those offered to a hospital or surgery center customers.

Added

We rely on sales agents in certain geographies, including those where it is not economical or sustainable to employ a sales representative given the density of surgeons and patients or the size of the territory. If we are unable to engage a sales agent or stocking distributor on reasonable terms, we may not be able to cover that territory at all or may not generate the expected level of sales and may need to spend more of our capital resources to hire sales personnel as employees. In addition, our sales agents and stocking distributors have in the past and may in the future give higher priority to the products of other medical device companies, including products directly competitive with our products (despite contractual prohibitions) or may be required by larger medical devices companies to stop offering our products. Also, when we sell through sales agents and stocking distributors, we have limited contact with the customers, meaning that revenues from that customer are at risk should the independent agent or stocking distributor decide to terminate their relationship with us. There can be no assurance that a sales agent or stocking distributor will devote the resources necessary to provide effective sales and promotional support to our products. In addition, when an independent sales agent or stocking distributor terminates its relationship with us and is retained by one of our competitors, notwithstanding the noncompetition covenants in their contract with us, in the past we have been and in the future may be unable to prevent them from helping competitors solicit business from our existing customers, which has and could continue to adversely affect, our sales. Similarly, representatives of our sales agents and stocking distributors become familiar with our surgical techniques, products and customers and may terminate their relationships with the agent or distributor and begin selling competitive products. Even though the agent or distributor is obligated to prevent their representatives from competing in this manner, agents have in the past failed to enforce these restrictions, and agents and distributors may fail to do so in the future.

Added

Furthermore, on April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission issued a final rule that could require the Company to rescind our non-competes, which would allow our employees and independent sales representatives to terminate their engagements and compete with us. Enforcement of this final rule has been enjoined by federal courts, but if this injunction is lifted and the final rule becomes effective, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company by allowing our former sales representatives to compete with us.

Added

Discounted sales of products in advance to hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers and stocking distributors may delay reorders and decrease revenue in subsequent periods and have reduced and may continue to reduce our gross margins.

Added

Generally, hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers purchase our products at the time the surgical case is performed. Customers also have the option to purchase our products in advance, generally in larger quantities. In some cases, we offer discounts for these purchases, resulting in lower average selling prices. In addition, in 2025, we initiated a program to sell our products to a limited number of stocking distributors to access their established customer base, build loyalty to our products, and expand into an additional sales channel. Sales to stocking distributors are offered at a discount, and since the stocking distributors purchased products to build their initial inventory in 2025, their purchases may not be replenished at the same pace in future periods. Our use of stocking distributors has and may continue to result in uncertain reorder cadence and revenue and cash flow volatility and pressure our gross margins. Customers that have purchased our products in advance may have lower demand in future quarters for our products if they use our products at a slower than expected rate or otherwise find that they have excess inventory. Our results of operations may be affected by lower gross margins from discounted prices for sales to stocking distributors, hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers, and our revenues in future periods may be reduced if these customers purchase fewer of our products.

Our estimates of the addressable market for our current products and future products are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates and assumptions, including the prevalence of bunion sufferers, the prevalence of mild, moderate and severe bunions and related pathologies, and the difficulty of persuading bunion sufferers to undergo bunion surgery, and specifically our Lapiplasty and other procedures. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates are reasonable, these assumptions and our estimates may not be correct. For example, we believe that the aging of the general population and increasingly active lifestyles will continue and that these trends will increase the need for our products and that surgeons and their patients will determine that the Lapiplasty Procedure is appropriate for all severities of bunions, from mild to severe. While the Lapiplasty Procedure and other procedures have increased the percentage of bunions treated at the TMT joint, metatarsal osteotomies continue to be used in approximately 70% of bunion surgeries in the U.S., and over the past few years, more surgeons are trying minimally invasive metatarsal osteotomy treatments for mild to moderate bunions. To meet this demand, we have developed our Nanoplasty and Percuplasty Systems. However, the projected demand for our products could materially differ from actual demand if our assumptions regarding these trends and acceptance of our products by the medical community prove to be incorrect or do not materialize, or if non-surgical treatments or other surgical techniques gain more widespread acceptance as a viable alternative to our procedures. In addition, even if the number of bunion sufferers who elect to undergo bunion surgery, and one of our procedures in particular, increases as we expect, technological or medical advances could provide alternatives to address bunion deformities and reduce demand for bunion surgery. As a result, our estimates of the addressable market for our current or future products and procedures may prove to be incorrect. Further, one component of our growth strategy is our direct to patient education program, which we expect will help us educate additional bunion patients about our products and procedures; however, these patient engagements may not be as successful at educating potential surgical candidates as we expect. Thus, even if the total addressable market for our current and future products and procedures is as large as we have estimated, we may not be able to penetrate the existing market to capture additional market share for the reasons discussed in this "Risk Factors" section. If the actual number of bunion sufferers who would benefit from our products, the price at which we can sell future products or the addressable market for our products is smaller than we estimate, or if the total addressable market is as large as we have estimated but we are unable to capture additional market share, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our revenue fluctuates on a seasonal basis, which affects the comparability of our results from quarter to quarter. In particular, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience seasonality in our business, with higher sales volumes in the fourth calendar quarterquarter, followedrecently byaccounting lowerfor approximately 30 to 35% of full year revenues. Our sales volumes in the subsequent first calendar quarter. Our sales volumes in fourth calendar quartersquarter tend to be higher as many patients elect to have surgery after meeting their annual deductible and having time to recover over the winter holidays. Our sales volumes in the subsequent first calendar quartersquarter tend to be lower as a result of adverse weather and by resetting annual patient healthcare insurance plan deductibles, both of which may cause patients to delay elective procedures.procedures; Thehowever, orthopaedicin industrysome traditionallyyears, experiencesthe first quarter may benefit from additional sales volumes when high patient demand for surgeries in the fourth quarter cannot be fully accommodated and those surgical procedures are rolled over into the first quarter. In addition to the seasonality noted above, we have experienced and generally expect lower sales volumes in the second and third quarterquarters than throughout the rest of the year as elective procedures generally decline during the summer months,spring and we have been affected by a decline in demand for bunion surgeries during the summer months. These seasonal variations are difficult to predict accurately, may vary amongst different markets and at times may be entirely unpredictable, which introduceintroduces additional risk into our business as we rely upon forecasts of customer demand to build inventory in advance of anticipated sales. In addition, our limited operating history has,and limited product line have, in part, made our seasonal patterns more difficult to discern, making it more difficult to predict future seasonal patterns.

Sales of the Lapiplasty System accounted for substantially all of our revenues in prior years. While we have begun limited market releases of a number of new products in late 2024, the full commercial launch of these products are anticipated to occur in the second half of 2025. Accordingly, the Lapiplasty System is expected to continue to account for a significant percentage of our revenue for the next several years and thereafter. Our ability to execute our growth strategy and become profitable will therefore depend upon the continuing adoption by surgeons, patients, payors, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities, among others, of the Lapiplasty Procedure to correct bunions and the market acceptance and growth of our other existing and new products. The pace of adoption of the Lapiplasty Procedure may slow, and we may not be able to continue to penetrate the bunion surgery market for the reasons discussed in this "Risk Factors" section. We cannot ensure that the Lapiplasty Procedure and our other existing and new products will achieve broad market acceptance among surgeon, patients, payors, hospitals and healthcare facilities. Since our business has a limited product line based primarily on the Lapiplasty Procedure, any slowdown or setback in market adoption of the Lapiplasty Procedure and our other existing and new products will negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If larger competitors utilize dominant market positions in unrelated service lines to induce customers to buy their bunion correction systems instead of our products through rebate payments and/or volume-based pricing agreements, our sales may be adversely affected.

Removed

Certain of our competitors have a dominant market position in medical devices with broad product lines. Some competitors bundle their surgical bunion products with their broader unrelated product lines and offer rebates and discounts to customers based on purchases of the full bundle in exchange for a significant purchase commitment from the customer. This means that the customer is induced to buy the competitors' bunion products in order to meet the requirements to receive the rebate or discount on the unrelated product lines. Due to the amount that customers spend on the competitor's broad product line, these rebates or volume-based discounts on a competitor's unrelated products may be greater than the total amount paid for our products. We have experienced customers reducing or ceasing their purchases of our products to meet commitments or achieve rebate levels from larger competitors who have bundled their bunion products with unrelated product lines. If competitors' product bundling practices continue to induce customers to reduce or stop purchasing our products, our sales will decrease, and our financial results will be adversely affected.

Reworded

There has been consolidation among health care facilities and purchasers of medical devices, particularly in the United States. One of the results of such consolidation is that groupGPOs, purchasing organizations ("GPOs"), integrated delivery networksIDNs and large single accounts use their market power to consolidate purchasing decisions, which intensifies competition to provide products and services to health care providers and other industry participants, resulting in greater pricing pressures and the exclusion of certain suppliers from important market segments. ForGPOs example,and some GPOsIDNs negotiate pricing for their member hospitals and require us to discount, hold our price firm for multiple years, or limit our ability to increase prices for certain of our products. In addition, GPO and IDN contracts may also require member hospitals to buy a significant percentage of their products from large, diversified medical device suppliers that offer significant discounts. This means that member hospitals may be obligated to use bunion and midfoot surgery systems from our larger competitors in order to meet the commitment to purchase a certain percentage of the GPO's or IDN's supplies from the larger competitor. In a similar development, the foot and ankle industry has become less fragmented and more consolidated in the past several years, as many smaller innovative foot and ankle companies have been acquired by larger orthopaedic companies. This has led to some GPOs, IDNs, large hospital networks and other customers modifying their purchasing practices to favor suppliers with multiple foot and ankle product offerings and broader, often unrelated, product lines.

Our business plan relies on certain assumptions about the market for our products; however, the size and expected growth of our addressable market has not been established with precision and may be smaller than we estimate, and even if the addressable market is as large as we have estimated, we may not be able to capture additional market share.

If surgeons continue to use and grow their use of minimally invasive metatarsal osteotomy treatments for mild to moderate bunions, the ratio of overall bunion treatments performed at the TMT joint may decline. To meet this demand for minimally invasive metatarsal osteotomy treatments for mild to moderate bunions, we have developed our Nanoplasty and Percuplasty Systems and began their full commercial release in the third quarter of 2025. While we believe our systems are best-in-class, the projected demand for our products could materially differ from actual demand, and our assumptions regarding these trends and acceptance of our products by the medical community may be incorrect or may not materialize, or non-surgical treatments or other surgical techniques may gain more widespread acceptance as a viable alternative to our procedures.

The manufacture and sale of medical devices exposesexpose us to risk of product liability and warranty claims. While the Company offers a limited warranty and has experienced negligible returns of any products alleged to be defective, we bear the risk of warranty claims on the products we supply. We may not be successful in claiming recovery under any warranty or indemnity provided to us by our suppliers or vendors. In addition, warranty claims brought by our customers related to third-party components may arise after our ability to bring corresponding warranty claims against such suppliers expires, which could result in costs to us. We may be subject to product liability claims if our products cause, or merely appear to have caused, patient injury or death. Product liability claims may be brought against us by patients, healthcare providers or others coming into contact with our products. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in costs of litigation; distraction of management’s attention; delays or inability to develop and commercialize new and improved products; decreased demand for our products; damage to our business reputation and customer relationships; product recalls or withdrawals from the market; withdrawal of clinical study participants; substantial monetary awards to claimants; loss of sales; and liabilities associated with adverse outcomes that exceed our insurance coverage.

We are exposed to the risk that our employees and independent contractors, including independent sales agencies and any other consultants, any future commercial collaborators, and other vendors may engage in misconduct or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or other unauthorized activities that violate federal, state or local laws and regulations, as well as the laws, regulations and rules of regulatory bodies such as the FDA; manufacturing standards; U.S. federal and state health care fraud and abuse, data privacy laws and other similar non-U.S. laws; or laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by employees and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with such laws or regulations. In addition, we are subject to the risk that a person or government could allege such fraud or other misconduct, even if none occurred. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business and financial results, including, without limitation, the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, disgorgements, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other U.S. health care programs, other sanctions, imprisonment, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.

We are a medical technology company with the goal of advancing the standard of care for the surgical management of bunion and related midfoot deformities. Bunions are complex 3-dimensional deformities that originate from an unstable joint in the middle of the foot and affect approximately 67 million Americans, of which we estimate 1.1 million are annual surgical candidates. We have pioneered ourand proprietarypatented the Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction System—a combination of instruments, implants and surgical methods designed to surgically correct all three planes of the bunion deformity and secure the unstable joint, addressing the root cause of the bunionbunion, and helping patients get back to their active lifestyles. AlthoughTo bunionsfurther are deformities typically caused by an unstable joint insupport the middleneeds of the foot that leads to a three-dimensional ("3D") misalignment in the foot's anatomical structure, the majority of traditional surgical approaches focus on correcting the deformity from a two-dimensional ("2D") perspectivesurgeons and therefore fail to address the root cause of the disorder. To effectively restore the normal anatomy of bunion patients and improve clinical outcomes,patients, we believe addressing the root cause of the bunion is critical, and we developed our first product, the Lapiplasty System, to correct the deformity across all three anatomic dimensions. Our other products often used in conjunction with bunion surgery includeoffer the Adductoplasty System,Midfoot the Hammertoe PEEK FixationCorrection System, the SpeedPlate Rapid Compression Implant System, and specialized osteotomes and release instruments. In addition, we recently announced our entrance into the metatarsal osteotomy segment with the Nanoplasty and Percuplasty Procedures, which both allowdesigned for areproducible 3Dsurgical correction of the bunionmidfoot, throughtwo cosmeticallysystems appealing,for minimally invasive solutions.osteotomy procedures, namely the Nanoplasty 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction System and the Percuplasty Percutaneous 3D Bunion Correction System, and the SpeedMTP System for great toe fusions. We continue to expand our footprint in the marketplace by extending our SpeedPlate rapid compression implant platform to new applications, as well as providing surgeons with advanced digital solutions with our IntelliGuide patient specific, pre-op planning and cut guide technology. With our Lapiplasty System, new osteotomy systems, and other complementary products, we are continuing to execute our strategy of becoming a comprehensive bunion solutions company and supporting further penetration into the bunion market opportunity.

We were formed in 2013, and since receiving 510(k) clearance for the Lapiplasty System in March 2015, we have expanded our bunion related products in the United States. We market and sell our products to physicians, surgeons, ambulatory surgery centerscenters, hospitals and hospitals.stocking distributors. Our procedures can be performed in either hospital outpatient or ambulatory surgery centers settings,settings and utilize existing, well-established reimbursement codes. We currently market and sell our products through a combination of a direct employee sales force and independent sales agencies and stocking distributors in the United States. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had a field fleet of 329297 team members. The field fleet includes our direct employee sales force, clinicalmarket specialists,development managers, and sales management, and an estimate of individuals from independent sales agencies and stocking distributors focused on marketing and selling our products.

ThereWhile gross domestic product is currently expected to expand in 2026, there is continuing uncertainty in the macro-economic environment. Inflationary pressures and interest rate changes may result in higher costs for us.

Increased Competition, Procedure Preferences and Setting of Care Changes

Before we launched our flagship Lapiplasty System, there were no other products in the market that provided a 3D solution and specialized procedural instrumentation for traditionally freehand, difficult Lapidus surgeries. This allowed us to capitalize on our pioneering technology and grow our market share quickly. Since we launched the Lapiplasty System, we have faced increasing competition from large, mid-sized and small companies that have launched their own Lapidus products. We are also experiencing a shift in patient and surgeon preferences for treating less severe bunions through minimally invasive osteotomy solutions as well as MTP fusions, with competitive products already addressing these types of surgery. Another trend is a shift in where bunion surgeries are performed from hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers, which receive lower procedure reimbursement rates and may be part of IDNs that have established relationships with large orthopaedic companies. These trends have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our growth rates, market share, and results of operations. To meet the shifting preferences for treating mild to moderate bunions, we have introduced new bunion systems, including two minimally invasive osteotomy systems and a great toe fusion system. While the adoption of these new systems is increasing, we generally sell them at lower average selling prices than our Lapiplasty System. To the extent we lose market share or experience further declines in sales of our Lapiplasty System, and we are unable to sufficiently increase sales of our new bunion systems to offset such declines, our revenues and results of operations will be adversely affected. In addition, our customer mix initiatives, primarily the use of stocking distributors in 2025, and advance purchases by hospitals and surgery centers may affect both revenue growth and gross margins in future periods. Furthermore, we face extensive competition, and new product introductions in the Lapidus, great toe fusion and minimally invasive osteotomy markets may adversely impact our growth rates, market share and results of operations.

We actively seek to protect the technology, inventions, and improvements that we consider important to our business using patents, trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights in the United States and foreign markets. As of December 31, 2024,2025, our patent portfolio included 6895 granted U.S. patents, with an additional 2639 granted patents worldwide and over 100185 pending patent applications. In keeping with our strategy of protecting our intellectual property rights, on October 14, 2024, we filed a lawsuit against Stryker Corporation and its subsidiary Wright Medical Technology, Inc. (collectively, "Stryker") alleging infringement of 9 patents related to our innovative Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction technologies and unfair competition.

The growth of our business depends on our ability to gain broader acceptance of our proprietary procedures and systems by successfully marketing and distributing these products. While surgeon adoption of our products and procedures remains critical to supporting revenue growth, hospital and ambulatory surgery center facility approvals are necessary for both existing and future surgeon customers to access our products. To facilitate greater access to our products and support future sales growth, we intend to continue educating hospitals and facility administrators on the differentiated benefits associated with our procedures and systems, supported by our robust portfolio of clinical data on our existing procedures and additional clinical data we expect to develop on our new products. To continue to build our market share, in 2025, we added new commercial and sales leadership as well as experienced foot and ankle sales representatives to our team. While we have experienced overall increases in bunion procedure kit sales and in our market share, our flagship Lapiplasty System is expected to contribute less to our market share growth in future quarters, which could result in reduced revenues and impact our liquidity if product sales from our new bunion systems do not increase sufficiently to offset the decline in sales of the Lapiplasty System. If we are unable to successfully continue to commercialize our procedures and systems, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability. In the near term, we expect we will continue to operate at a loss, and we anticipate we will finance our operations principally through the use of our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and expected revenues. We may also raise funds by incurring debt and through offerings of our capital stock.

Our sales volumes in the fourth quarter tend to be higher as many patients elect to have surgery after meeting their annual deductible and having time to recover over the winter holidays. Our sales volumes in subsequent first calendar quarters also tend to be lower versus the prior year fourth quarters as a result of adverse weather and by resetting annual patient healthcare insurance plan deductibles, both of which may cause patients to delay elective procedures; however, in some years the first quarter may benefit from additional sales volumes when high patient demand for surgeries in the fourth quarter cannot be fully accommodated and those surgical procedures are rolled over into the first quarter.

Revenue. Revenue increased by $3.3 million, or 1.6%, in the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the number of bunion procedure kits sold, partially offset by lower average selling prices of our newest bunion procedure kits. While the number of bunion procedure kits sold are increasing overall, our flagship Lapiplasty System is experiencing lower sales primarily due to evolving surgeon preferences for minimally invasive osteotomy procedures, competition, and lower patient demand for elective bunion surgery related to macroeconomic conditions. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 included $13.0 million in sales to stocking distributors, a majority of which was attributable to initial stocking orders during the first three quarters of 2025, compared to no stocking distributor sales during 2024.

We are a medical technology company with the goal of advancingbeing the standardrecognized ofleader care forin the surgical managementtreatment of bunionbunions and related midfoot deformities. Bunions are complex 3-dimensional deformities that originate from an unstable joint in the middle of the foot and affect approximately 67 million Americans, of which we estimate 1.1 million are annual surgical candidates. We have pioneered and patented the Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction System–a combination of instruments, implants and surgical methods designed to surgically correct all three planes of the bunion deformity and secure the unstable joint, addressing the root cause of the bunion and helping patients get back to their active lifestyles. To further support the needs of surgeons and bunion patients, we offer the Adductoplasty® Midfoot Correction System, designed for reproducible surgical correction of the midfoot, two systems for minimally invasive osteotomy procedures, namely the Nanoplasty® 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction System and the Percuplasty™® percutaneous 3D Bunion Correction System, and the SpeedMTP® System for fusions of the great toe (the metatarsophalangeal ("MTP")) joint. We continue to expand our footprint in the marketplace by extending our SpeedPlate® rapid compression implant platform to new applications, as well as providing surgeons with advanced digital solutions with our IntelliGuide® patient specific, pre-op planning and cut guide technology.technology, and offering SuperBite™ Compression Screws, which are self-drilling beveled compression screws of different sizes designed for use in other foot fusions. With our Lapiplasty System, new osteotomy systems, and other complementary products, we are continuing to execute our strategy of becoming a comprehensive bunion solutions company and supporting further penetration in the bunion market opportunity. See the "Innovation and Growth" section below for more information on our new products.

As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.5$12.6 million and marketable securities of $42.3$33.0 million available for sale to fund operations, an accumulated deficit of $267.0$282.8 million and $60.0 million of principal outstanding under our term loan and revolving loan agreements.

There is continuing uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment. Inflation, the ongoing military conflict in the Middle East, recession fears, reduced consumer confidence, higher insurance deductibles, fuel prices and other costs, and other adverse economic conditions have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, consumer demand for elective foot and ankle surgeries. While we continuously work with suppliers to mitigate higher costs and continue to invest in our direct sales channel, focused surgeon education training, and product innovations to build demand for our products, we expect these macroeconomic challenges to continue for the foreseeable future, which have impacted and likely will continue to impact the demand for our products and our results of operations.

Before we launched our flagship Lapiplasty System, there were no other products in the market that provided a 3D solution and specialized procedural instrumentation for traditionally freehand, difficult Lapidus surgeries. This allowed us to capitalize on our pioneering technology and grow our market share quickly. Since we launched the Lapiplasty System, we have faced increasing competition from large, mid-sized and small companies that have launched their own Lapidus products. We are also experiencing a shift in patient and surgeon preferences for treating less severe bunions through minimally invasive osteotomy solutions as well as MTP fusions, with competitive products already addressing these types of surgery. Another trend is a shift in where bunion surgeries are performed from hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers, which receive lower procedure reimbursement rates and may be part of integrated delivery networks ("IDNs") that have established relationships with large orthopaedic companies. Hospital systems and other customers continue to seek pricing concessions from their medical device suppliers, like us, and larger medical device companies with multiple product franchises have increased their effort to leverage and contract broadly with customers across franchises by providing volume discounts, rebates and multi-year arrangements. Their contracting power has in the past limited and may continue to limit or prevent our access to these customers. These trends have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our growth rates, market share, and results of operations. To address the shifting preferences for treating mild to moderate bunions, we have introduced new bunion systems, including two minimally invasive osteotomy systems and a MTP fusion system. While adoption of these new systems is increasing, they are generally sold at lower average selling prices than our Lapiplasty System. Our revenues and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by declines in sales of our Lapiplasty System that have not been fully offset by the increased sales of our new bunion systems. In addition, our customer mix initiatives, the use of stocking distributors, and advance purchases by hospitals and surgery centers have affected and may continue to affect both revenue growth and gross margins. Furthermore, we face extensive competition, pricing pressures, and new product introductions in the Lapidus, MTP fusion and minimally invasive osteotomy markets that have adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact our growth rates, market share and results of operations.

In research and development, our employee team and surgeon consultants are continually working on next-generation innovations for the surgical correction of bunions and other conditions that often present with bunions. Their work has resulted in the launch of a suite of new products in the past two years, including the following: (1) the Nanoplasty and Percuplasty Systems, which are minimally-invasive 3D osteotomy systems; (2) IntelliGuide PSI Cut Guides for Lapiplasty and Adductoplasty Procedures, which are cut guides created specifically for an individual patient’s foot anatomy; (3) the Mini-Adductoplasty System, which is designed to allow the Adductoplasty midfoot correction procedure to be performed through an approximately 50% smaller incision; (4) the SpeedMTP Rapid Compression Implant, a specialized implant for addressing bunions through MTP fusions; (5) new SpeedPlate configurations, including the SpeedAkin™ implant and the SpeedPlate Micro-Quad implant; and (6) single use osteotomes. We have recently begun limited(1) full market release of the SpeedTMT™ Rapid Compression Implant, which combines our SpeedPlate and FastPitch® technologies in a fixation option for tarsometatarsal ("TMT") fusions, and Percuplasty SuperBite™ Compression Screws, which are self-drilling beveled compression screws of different sizes designed for use in other foot fusions.fusions, and (2) limited market release of our HyperPlate™ XM Dynamic Compression Locking Implant, which features a low profile SpeedPlate implant incorporating FastPitch locking screws in multiple sizes to accommodate a wide range of midfoot and hindfoot procedures. We expect to release other new solutions in 2026, including the Lapiplasty Lightning Next Generation Instrumentation designed to further increase the precision and speed of the Lapiplasty Procedure.

Therefore, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, goodwill was $12.8 million.
