"The fourth quarter marked the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit organic revenue growth, which is particularly outstanding considering the strong comparable quarter last year," said CEO Dave Demski. "Emerging technologies delivered $14.7 million, or 34 percent growth, a significant accomplishment given the pent-up demand implicit in the fourth quarter of 2017 when we launched our robotic system. The U.S. spinal implant business grew by over 9.4 percent year over year, continuing the acceleration we saw in the third quarter, driven by robotic implant pull through and strong recruiting."
