About ORTHOPEDIATRICS CORP

OrthoPediatrics Corp. (ticker: KIDS) is a U.S.-based medical device company listed on the Nasdaq, and its strategic identity is unusually focused: it is devoted exclusively to pediatric orthopedics. Headquartered in Warsaw, Indiana, United States, the company was founded in 2006 with the goal of addressing an underserved niche within orthopedics—devices and systems designed specifically for children and adolescents rather than scaled-down adult products. That focus is a key competitive advantage versus larger, more diversified medtech peers.

Its portfolio includes implants, instruments, and procedure-specific systems used by pediatric orthopedic surgeons, alongside an expanding specialty bracing business. Recent acquisitions such as Boston Orthotics & Prosthetics and MD Orthopaedics have broadened the non-operative side of the platform and deepened the company’s ability to serve patients across the treatment continuum, including clubfoot and other bracing indications.

Rather than competing broadly across adult orthopedics, it concentrates resources on surgeon education, product innovation, and relationships with pediatric hospitals and specialists. Management also emphasizes a global commercial footprint: products are sold in the United States and in more than 75 countries outside the U.S., giving the company geographic diversification while keeping its core operating base in the domestic market.

In 2025, the company expanded its Specialty Bracing Division into new territories and opened additional clinics, underscoring a push to build a more integrated pediatric care platform. It also announced a distribution partnership with MY01 to widen access to technology aimed at pediatric trauma patients. Financially, OrthoPediatrics reported strong momentum into 2026, including 13% year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026 to $59.4 million and 15% full-year 2025 revenue growth to $236.3 million, while also highlighting improved cash generation. These updates point to a business that is still investing, but increasingly demonstrating operating leverage and commercial scale.
