July 8 (Reuters) - Exactech Inc (EXAC.O), a maker of orthopaedic implant devices, said second-quarter results would be lower than expected and cut its 2009 revenue forecast, citing weak sales of its knee implant products.

For the quarter ending June 30, the company expects to post revenue of about $43 million, compared with its prior forecast of $44 million to $46 million revenue. The company also sees second-quarter earnings below its previous view of 26 cents to 28 cents a share.

For the second quarter, analysts on average were expecting earnings of 27 cents a share, excluding items, on revenue of $44.8 million, according to Reuters Estimates.

Exactech sees 2009 revenue of $167 million to $173 million, compared with its prior outlook of $176 million to $184 million.
