Large Joint Reconstructive sales increased 5% worldwide to $397.0 million and decreased 1% in the United States during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Knee sales increased 2% worldwide during the first quarter and decreased 4% in the


U.S. Hip sales increased 7% worldwide during the first quarter and increased 3% in the U.S. as a result of market demand for the Arcos® Modular Femoral Revision System, Active Articulation™ E1® Mobility Hip System, and the Taperloc® Complete Hip Stem.

S.E.T. sales increased 11% worldwide to $80.1 million during the first quarter and increased 8% in the U.S. Sports medicine sales increased 12% worldwide during the quarter and increased 1% in the U.S. Strong demand for procedure-specific devices, including the JuggerKnot™ Soft Anchor, the ZipTight™ Fixation System with ZipLoop™ Technology for Ankle Syndesmosis and the TunneLoc® Femoral Fixation Device contributed to sports medicine sales growth during the first quarter. Extremity sales grew 19% worldwide during the quarter, with a growth rate of 21% in the U.S. The Comprehensive® Primary and Reverse Shoulder Systems continued to drive strong growth for extremities during the first quarter. Trauma sales decreased 2% worldwide during the quarter and decreased 6% in the U.S.

Spine and Bone Healing (non-invasive trauma stimulation and bracing) sales decreased 10% worldwide to $76.1 million during the first quarter and decreased 10% in the U.S.

Dental sales increased 5% worldwide to $59.3 million and increased 7% in the U.S. during the first quarter. The Biomet 3i dental business continued to benefit from new product introductions and good execution by the U.S. sales team, resulting in three consecutive quarters of mid-single digit growth.

Sales of “other” products increased 9% worldwide to $52.1 million during the first quarter and increased 3% in the U.S. Strong sales growth in the microfixation business was somewhat offset by a decline in sales of biologics during the quarter.
