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.
