This represents England's third M&A transaction in foot and ankle orthopedics, and England's fourth in orthopedics more broadly in the last 18 months.
Trilliant Surgical, based in Houston, Texas, is a growing manufacturer and marketer of a full line of foot and ankle orthopedic implants, covering forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot procedures.
