Worldwide revenues were up 8 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011 to $43.7 million. Domestic revenues were up 7 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011 to $37.9 million. The increase can be attributed mainly to the strength of the sports medicine, BGS/GO, and dental businesses. International revenues of $5.9 million increased 9 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to the strength of the surgical specialties business and the export of sports medicine and BGS/GO implants. After a constant currency adjustment, international revenues increased 12 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011.
