Dr. W. Andrew Hodge is a board certified
orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint
replacement surgery of the knee and hip. As
Medical Director of Hodge BioMotion
Orthopedics, Dr. Hodge is involved with all
surgical cases directly. He received special
fellowship training in total joint surgery
at Harvard's Massachusetts General Hospital
where he practiced for 10 years. Dr. Hodge
also completed a research fellowship at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, after
which he helped design and construct Mass.
General Hospital's Biomotion Laboratory.
In 1992 Dr. Hodge relocated his clinical
joint replacement practice and the research
functions associated with his organization
to Florida. There, under the BioMotion
Orthopedic Research Lab moniker, the lab
which executes programs for the BioMotion's
Institute for Mobility and Longevity, was
born.
His research goals are to accurately
analyze the biomechanics of the hip and knee
joints allowing better implant design and
surgical technique. In 1984, Dr. Hodge
implanted a radio-telemetry hip joint in a
patient which, for the first time, measured
the stress on the hip during activities of
daily living. In 1987, he founded the
BioMotion Foundation as we know it today as
a non-profit, research and educational
organization, which now continues to provide
valuable services from its headquarters in
Palm Beach, Florida and to the world.
Empowered by his extensive orthopedic
experience and 20 years of research data,
Dr. Hodge designed and patented a strong and
long lasting knee prosthesis, the 3D knee
(Data Driven Design). Through the generous
support of local donors, a newly designed,
and retooled Orthopedic Research Lab celebrated its
grand opening in 2007, enhancing the
research and clinical goals established by
Dr. Hodge and his staff to help create a
world where longevity and mobility are
improved for all.
Dr. Hodge and the BioMotion Orthopedic
Research Lab team are nationally and
internationally recognized for excellence in
total joint replacement, research and
education. Yearly scientific presentations
at the American Academy of Orthopedic
Surgeons and speaking engagements and
educational and surgical tours in Japan,
Germany, Italy, Argentina, Croatia and Saudi
Arabia further enhance his vision for
longevity and mobility for all.
Today BioMotion contains
3 strategic
pillars which include the
clinical practice, the
research division and the
international clinical division.
