About OrthoPediatrics Corp.
About OrthoPediatrics Corp.
OrthoPediatrics generated $236.3 million in revenue for fiscal 2025, up from $204.7 million in 2024 and $148.7 million in 2023, marketing 87 surgical implant and bracing systems across trauma and deformity correction, scoliosis, and sports medicine — the three largest categories of the pediatric orthopedic market. The company sells to hospitals in the United States and more than 75 international countries, targeting a segment it estimates represents a $6.2 billion global opportunity, including $2.8 billion domestically.
The company sells through a hybrid channel of direct sales representatives, more than 30 independent U.S. sales agencies and over 80 international stocking distributors; sales agencies alone generated 56% of global revenue in fiscal 2025, down slightly from 59% in 2024. Implants and surgical instrumentation are produced under a contract manufacturing model, while orthotic and prosthetic bracing products are manufactured in-house, including through the 2024-acquired Boston Brace International subsidiary, which has continued acquiring O&P clinics in states including Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina and New York through 2025. OrthoPediatrics also licenses third-party technology, including an extended distribution agreement for FIREFLY Technology running through 2030 and a 7D Surgical FLASH Navigation license extended through 2028, supplementing organic product development with in-licensed surgical navigation tools.

OrthoPediatrics' products remain subject to Humanitarian Device Exemption requirements and Institutional Review Board oversight, a regulatory pathway built for devices treating small patient populations — a fitting description for a market where the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America counted roughly 1,500 members in 2025 versus approximately 33,400 U.S. surgeons focused on adults. The 10-K also flags dependency on its distribution network: the company's independent sales agencies and distributors, rather than direct hires, generated the majority of revenue, and losing that network could impair its ability to reach hospitals.
