United States revenues were reported as $32.6 million, slightly less than the first quarter of 2011. U.S. hospital sales grew 3 percent, which was driven by biologics and minimally invasive products. International revenue was flat from last year to this year. Company CEO and Chairman Les Cross attributes the decreases to a challenging spine market.
