ORTHOLOGIC ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF PHASE 3 CLINICAL TRIAL
OF CHRYSALIN^® (TP508) IN FRACTURE REPAIR

TEMPE, AZ, March 15, 2006 — OrthoLogic Corp. (NASDAQ: OLGC) today announced results of an analysis of topline data from its Phase 3 clinical trial of the novel synthetic peptide Chrysalin^® (TP508) in unstable, displaced distal radius (wrist) fractures. Treatment with 10µg Chrysalin did not demonstrate a statistically significant benefit compared to placebo in the primary efficacy endpoint of time to removal of immobilization.

A secondary endpoint, radiographic evidence of time to radial cortical bridging, showed a statistically significant benefit for Chrysalin—treated subjects (p = 0.049). This benefit mirrored findings from the Phase 1/2 clinical trial that provided part of the foundation for the Phase 3 study. No difference was observed between Chrysalin treatment and placebo in the other secondary endpoints.

The trial met the pre-specified safety endpoint by demonstrating no significant difference in adverse event rates between the Chrysalin and placebo groups.

“We will be conducting a full examination of these results in order to guide our program going forward, including a planned interim analysis of results from the ongoing Phase 2b dose ranging trial of Chrysalin in distal radius fractures, which includes a 30µg dose,” commented James M. Pusey, MD, President and CEO of OrthoLogic.

The Company expects to communicate results of its interim analysis during the third quarter of 2006.

Study Description
The study was a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety of Chrysalin and its efficacy regarding the rate of healing in adult subjects with unstable and/or displaced distal radius fractures. Subjects were randomized to receive a single 1mL percutaneous injection of Chrysalin at 10µg or placebo administered into the fracture site under fluoroscopic guidance. Five hundred three subjects were enrolled at 27 active centers in the United States.

Subjects were evaluated post-surgery at weeks 1-8, 10, 12, 26 and 52. The primary efficacy endpoint was time to removal of all immobilization, defined as the elapsed time between the date of fracture surgery and the first study visit at which the investigator, based on clinical and radiographic assessments of healing, removed all rigid immobilization hardware used to stabilize the fracture.

Secondary efficacy endpoints included:

 2

• Time to clinical and radiographic bone healing

• Assessment of the fractured wrist range of motion and grip strength relative to the contralateral limb

• Clinical outcomes as measured by the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation questionnaire

Safety was measured as the proportion of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events.
