Exactech To Conduct Intercontinental Masters Course in Shoulder Arthroplasty

Company Leverages Technology to Address Global Demand for Medical Education for Industry’s Fastest Growing Shoulder Replacement System

Exactech, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXAC), a developer and producer of bone and joint restoration products for hip, knee, shoulder, spine and biologic materials, announced today that it will conduct an intercontinental medical education course in shoulder arthroplasty to be held simultaneously in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Venice, Italy, on April 3-4, 2014.

The program will include a broadcast of live surgery, panel discussions and presentations on clinical outcomes, new biomechanical insights and guidance on surgical techniques designed for the experienced shoulder surgeon.

More than 100 surgeons will participate in programs conducted simultaneously in Brazil and Italy. They will attend presentations and interact with others at their respective venues, as well as participating in presentations and discussions broadcast from each location. A live shoulder surgery performed in Italy will also be part of the international broadcast and discussion.

“The enthusiastic embrace of our last two masters courses and the ever-increasing interest in our Equinoxe® shoulder system led us to explore ways we can further broaden our reach to meet the needs of shoulder surgeons around the globe,” said Darin Johnson, VP of Marketing, Extremities & Hips.

“Surgeons thrive on learning from world renowned faculty from diverse backgrounds and locations. This is an exciting new format that allows surgeons to benefit from two outstanding programs and faculty teams at once,” he said. “Exactech is known for our innovation in implant and instrumentation design, so it only follows that we would also leverage the latest technologies for our medical education programs.”

The program addresses the strong demand for advanced medical education in total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse shoulder arthroplasty and trauma, and interest in the company’s Equinoxe shoulder, which for several years has been the fastest growing shoulder system in the industry.
