We take pride in our medical recommendations for treatment.

 In 1989 W. Andrew Hodge, M.D, relocated his clinical joint replacement practice from Massachusetts General Hospital and its associated Orthopaedic Research Lab from MIT to its headquarters at Good Samaritan Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.

As Medical Director of the Hodge BioMotion Orthopedic center, Doctor Hodge's medical 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.

Along with Scott Banks, PhD, Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Hodge founded the BioMotion Foundation in 1987 as a not-for-profit orthopedic research and educational organization, which now continues to provide valuable services as the Institute for Mobility and Longevity.  For further information about the foundation please locate them on the web at www.TheIML.org.

Hodge BioMotion Orthopedics is committed to the future of joint replacement medicine with its new state of the art medical facility beautifully located in West Palm Beach, Florida.  This 5000 square foot facility is enhanced by new digital x-ray services as well as electronic medical records systems.
