Despite these continuing headwinds for our industry , we are pleased with the progress of vaccine adoption nationwide and , as a result , remain cautiously optimistic that we will see procedure levels get back to normal in the second half of 2021. This anticipated acceleration in activity is timed well for our planned product introductions , which remain on track . We are in a great financial position , especially in light of the $ 11 million we expect to receive for achieving the final milestone under the Stryker development agreement . Having completed the development phase of the project with Stryker , we can now focus on manufacturing and supplying patient - specific instrumentation for Stryker . We will also continue to develop our hip portfolio , which grew nicely in the quarter , and continue preparing for the launch of our new knee offering , which will target the ASC segment . "
