Who We Are

A Physician-Founded Medical Device Manufacturer Built on 27 Years of Joint Preservation Science

Founded in March 1999 by orthopedic surgeon James K. Brannon, MD, Orthopedic Sciences, Inc. (OSI) designs, patents, manufactures, sterilizes, and commercializes FDA-regulated orthopedic devices supporting arthroscopic and subchondral joint preservation of the shoulder, hip, and knee — using the patient's own autologous biologic tissue without synthetic bone graft substitutes or implantable biologic replacement materials.

OSI has generated more than $30 million in cumulative commercial revenue over a 27-year period and has supported more than 3,000 shoulder, hip, and knee joint preservation procedures, with clinical success measured by preservation of the native joint and avoidance of arthroplasty (artificial joint replacement).

OSI's platform has already been deployed within a United States Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and the company is actively expanding collaborations with the VA to advance joint preservation technologies within the federal healthcare system.

Mission

"We help doctors help more people preserve their joints." OSI is built around a single premise: patients should be able to keep the joint they were born with whenever clinically possible.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike vendors focused solely on implants or biologics, OSI controls the complete product lifecycle — from scientific discovery and intellectual property development through design, manufacturing, sterilization, reimbursement, clinical implementation, and post-market surveillance.
