% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From OrthoPediatrics Corp.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-04)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- In 2022, we acquired MD Ortho, a manufacturer of orthopedic clubfoot products, and Pega Medical, a medical device company which sells a portfolio of trauma and deformity correction devices for children, including the Fassier-Duval Telescopic Intramedullary System designed to treat osteogenesis imperfecta.
- We estimate that the portion of this market that we currently serve represents a $6.2 billion opportunity globally, including over $2.8 billion in the United States.
- We currently serve a portion of the pediatric orthopedic implant market that we estimate represents a $6.2 billion opportunity globally, including over $2.8 billion in the United States.
- Our global revenue from this category for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $166.3 million, an increase of 15% over the prior year, and represented 70% of total revenue.
Partnerships
- Beyond working with them to develop innovative products, we intend to deepen our partnership with surgeons by leveraging the experience of our senior management team, including our Medical Director, to expand our clinical education programs and partnerships with teaching hospitals, sponsor surgical workshops for residents and fellows and support worthwhile clinical research projects.
- Our broad product offering has made us, within the three categories of the market that we currently serve, the only provider of comprehensive solutions to pediatric orthopedic surgeons, who for the most part are generalists performing a wide range of orthopedic surgeries. • Partnership with Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeons and Pediatric Surgical Societies.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- Our products and operations are subject to extensive government regulation and oversight both in the United States and abroad, and our failure to comply with applicable requirements, including but not limited to the HDE requirements and MDD/MDR regulations, could harm our business.
- We may not receive the necessary clearances or approvals for our future products, and failure to timely obtain necessary clearances or approvals for our future products would adversely affect our ability to grow our business.
- Any modification to a 510(k)-cleared product that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, design or manufacture, requires a new 510(k) clearance or, possibly, approval of a PMA.
- Our products must be manufactured in accordance with federal and state regulations, and we could be forced to recall our installed systems or terminate production if we fail to comply with these regulations.
