EXHIBIT 10.2

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made as of <<EffectiveDate>> (the "Effective Date"), by

and between Wright Medical Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as

Wright Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), and <<Name>> (the

"Participant").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Participant currently serves as a member of the Company's

Board of Directors (the "Board"); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to afford the Participant the opportunity to

acquire ownership of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share

("Common Stock"), so that (s)he may have a direct proprietary interest in the

Company's success.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein

contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein

and in the Third Amended and Restated Wright Medical Group, Inc. 1999 Equity

Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Plan"), on

the Effective Date the Company does hereby grant to the Participant, during the

period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the 10th anniversary of

the Effective Date (the "Expiration Date"), the right and option (the right to

purchase any one share under this Agreement being an "Option") to purchase from

the Company <<Shares>> shares of Common Stock. The Option to purchase such

Common Stock shall have an exercise price of $<<ExercisePrice>> per share (the

Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date hereof). The Options

granted pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute Nonqualified Stock Options

under the Plan.

2. Limitations on Exercise of Options.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the

Plan, the Options shall vest and become exercisable, on a cumulative basis, with

respect to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and

on each succeeding anniversary thereafter so long as the Participant is a member

of the Board (a "Director"); provided, however, upon the occurrence of a Change

of Control, as defined below, all of the then unvested Options shall

automatically vest and be fully exercisable and shall remain so exercisable in

accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Committee or the Board may

accelerate the vesting and exercisability of any or all of the then-unvested

Options at any time.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Change in Control"

means the first to occur on or after the Effective Date of any of the following:

<PAGE>

(i) the acquisition by any person or persons acting as a group

("Person") of capital stock of the Company which, when added to any

capital stock of the Company already owned by the Person,

constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of either (i) the total

fair market value of the outstanding capital stock of the Company,

or (ii) the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of

the Company; provided, however, that a Change in Control will not be

deemed to have occurred when any Person who owns more than fifty

percent (50%) of the total fair market value or the total voting

power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company as of the date

of this Agreement acquires any additional capital stock of the

Company; and provided further, that an increase in the percentage of

the outstanding capital stock of the Company owned by a Person as a

result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its capital

stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of

such capital stock by such Person; or

(ii) the acquisition by a Person, in a single transaction or a

series of transactions within a twelve (12) month period, of capital

stock of the Company representing not less than thirty-five percent

(35%) of the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of

the Company; or

(iii) the acquisition by a Person, in a single transaction or a

series of transactions within a twelve (12) month period, of

consolidated assets of the Company which have a total gross fair

market value of not less than forty percent (40%) of the total gross

fair market value of all of the consolidated assets of the Company

immediately prior to such acquisition(s), in each case without

regard to any liabilities associated with such assets; provided,

however, that a Change in Control will not be deemed to have

occurred when such assets are acquired by:

(1) an entity of which the Company owns, directly or

indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total fair market

value or the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock;

(2) a Person which owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent

(50%) or more of the total fair market value or the total voting

power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company;

(3) an entity of which a Person described in clause (ii) owns,

directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total

fair market value or the total voting power of the outstanding

capital stock;

(4) an entity which is controlled by the stockholders of the

Company immediately after the transfer; or

(5) a stockholder of the Company in exchange for or with

respect to capital stock of the Company; or

(iv) a majority of the members of the Board is replaced in any

twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election

is not endorsed by a

majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the

appointment or election.

In making a determination as to whether a Change in Control has occurred, the

foregoing definition shall be construed and applied in a manner which would

avoid the imposition of federal income tax on the Participant by operation of

Section 409A of the Code, if applicable.

3. Non-Transferable. Except as specifically authorized by the Committee,

the Participant may not transfer the Options except by will or the laws of

descent and distribution and the Options shall be exercisable during the

Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or, in the event of his

incapacity, his guardian or legal representative. Except as so authorized, no

purported assignment or transfer of the Options, or of the rights represented

thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise

(except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), shall vest in the

assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever.

4. Termination of Status as a Director.

(a) Disability or Consent. If, prior to the Expiration Date, the

Participant shall cease to be a Director by reason of a Disability, as defined

in the Plan, or the Participant's status as a Director shall terminate with the

written consent of the Committee, then the Options shall remain exercisable

until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date that is [thirty (30)] days

after the date of such termination as a Director, but only to the extent the

Options were vested and exercisable at the time of such termination.

(b) Without Cause. If the Participant's status as a Director shall be

terminated by the Company without Cause, as defined in the Plan, then the

Options shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the

date that is three (3) months after the date of such termination as a Director,

but only to the extent the Options were vested and exercisable at the time of

such termination.

(c) Voluntary; for Cause Termination. If the Participant voluntarily

terminates his services as a Director for reasons other than Disability and

without the written consent of the Committee or the Participant's status as a

Director is terminated for Cause, then all of the Options, to the extent not

exercised prior to such termination, whether exercisable
