     The registrant is filing this Form 8-K/A to amend and restate registrant's

Item 2.      Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
             ------------------------------------ 

     On June 27, 1997, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of
February 4, 1997, as amended by a First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement
dated as of May 30, 1997 (the "Agreement"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
registrant acquired substantially all of the assets (the "Assets"), including
intellectual property related to orthopaedic medicine, and assumed substantially
all of the liabilities of MedicineLodge, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("MedicineLodge").  MedicineLodge is a privately held designer, developer and
manufacturer of orthopaedic medical devices, particularly implantable systems
and related instrumentation used in minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures
to repair injuries to the knee, and has approximately 30 employees located at
its Logan, Utah offices.  The purchase price paid by the registrant to
MedicineLodge for the Assets was 1,885,000 shares of the registrant's common
stock.  At the closing, the registrant issued 1,885,000 shares of its common
stock by delivering 1,696,500 of these shares to MedicineLodge and depositing
the remaining 188,500 shares into escrow with a bank for a one year period to
satisfy certain indemnified claims that may arise subsequent to the closing.
The registrant is obligated to file a registration statement to register the
1,885,000 shares for resale.  In accordance with the Agreement, two shareholders
of MedicineLodge were elected as directors of the registrant.  One of these two
directors also became an officer of the registrant pursuant to a four year
employment agreement.  The other of these directors became a consultant to the
registrant pursuant to a four year consulting agreement.  Additionally, another
shareholder of MedicineLodge became an officer of the registrant in accordance
with a four year employment agreement.  These arrangements are more fully
detailed on page 23 of the registrant's definitive Proxy Statement for Annual
and Special Meeting of Stockholders held on June 27, 1997 (filed as Exhibit 99.1
hereto), and is incorporated herein by reference.

     The purchase price of 1,885,000 shares was arrived at through a process of
negotiation involving the registrant and MedicineLodge taking into account,
among other factors, the ranges of valuation proposed by the registrant's
financial advisor and a consideration of the reasonable ranges of prices at
which the registrant's management and board of directors believed that the
registrant's stock would trade.

     With respect to the Assets, the registrant intends to continue
MedicineLodge's business following the Closing.
