Item 8.01.		Other Events.

As previously disclosed in the notes to our financial statements, we have been involved with a dispute with a former consultant who demanded payment of royalties on the sales of certain knee products. We contended that the plaintiff breached his agreement, and therefore we owed no royalties to the plaintiff. In April 2006, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (District Court) granted partial summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff, ruling that the plaintiff did not breach his contract. A damages hearing was held in March 2007 and damages were set at $2.6 million plus interest. Both parties appealed the decision of the District Court.

On June 6, 2008, we received a ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (Appeals Court) affirming the decision by the District Court for the District of Massachusetts granting partial summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff, ruling that the plaintiff did not breach his contract. The Appeals Court also affirmed the other rulings of the District Court.

We will recognize the $2.6 million in damages plus interest within our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
