Description

Introduction: Recent data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare/Medicaid Part B National Summary project that the demand for total joint arthroplasties will grow upwards of 500% by 2060.2 This increased demand is due to many factors, including a growing aging population, an increased prevalence of osteoarthritis, and advances in surgical techniques facilitated by improved technology resulting in enhanced outcomes and prosthetic longevity.
