Amendment Flag true    
Amendment Description "Orthofix International N.V. (together with its respective consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company,” sometimes referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) is filing this amendment (this “Amendment” or “Form 10-K/A”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which was originally filed on March 31, 2014 (the “Original Form 10-K”). The Original Form 10-K reflected and described the effects of the restatement of the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. In addition, the Original Form 10-K included restated consolidated financial information for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in Part II, Item 6, “Selected Financial Data.” The error corrections contained in these restated financial statements, which we refer to herein as the “Original Restatement,” were prepared following an independent review by the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors into certain accounting matters (the “Independent Review”), which is further described herein. In connection with the Company’s preparation of its consolidated interim quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that certain entries with respect to the previously filed financial statements contained in the Original Form 10-K were not properly accounted for under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). As further described below, these additional errors affect the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, as well as the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. Due to these errors, the Company determined in August 2014 to restate its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (including the interim quarterly periods therein) and the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, and that the previously filed consolidated financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon. Contemporaneously with the filing of this Form 10-K/A, the Company is filing (i) an amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 (the “Amended 2014 First Quarter Form 10-Q”), which amendment contains restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and (ii) its delayed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 (the “2014 Second Quarter Form 10-Q”), which report contains restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013. Restated consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 will also be contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014, which the Company expects to file on or prior to November 10, 2014. The corrections of the additional errors in this Form 10-K/A and the Amended 2014 First Quarter Form 10-Q are referred to herein as the “Further Restatement.” "
