ARE YOU A BABY BOOMER?
Statistics from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons show that "more than 418,000 total and partial knee replacements are performed each year, 15 percent of them on baby boomers; of the 328,000 total and partial hip replacements done, boomers are the recipients of more than 20 percent."
"Demand for Knee Replacements Will Increase
More Than 600 Percent in 25 Years"
"The demand for total joint replacement is expected to increase so dramatically in the next 25 years that there may not be enough orthopedic surgeons to perform the surgeries, as indicated by results from recent research on the topic. As presented at the 73rd Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the study projects the number of hip- and knee-replacement procedures that will be performed in the United States through the year 2030."

After twenty years of the fusion, she started to develop severe back pain and chronic tendonitis as a result of overcompensation. Several other doctors agreed nothing could be done to fix the fusion and give Melissa a more normal hip. Through the research of the Institute for Mobility and Longevity, Dr. Hodge was able to perform a successful total hip replacement in June of 2007. Melissa's life is drastically improved and she is now pain free and has a range of motion in her hip that she has never before experienced.
