| 06:54 EDT |  | ZMH, SYK, JNJ | Knee replacement surgeries double in U.S., Bloomberg reports
In the U.S., knee replacement surgeries have more than doubled over the past 20 years as older Americans stay active later in life, according to research released in the Journal of the American Medical Association., reports Bloomberg. Total knee replacement procedures surged 162% from 1991 to 2010 while the number of procedures to repair a previously implanted artificial knee joint, called revision, increased jumped 106%. About 600,000 total knee replacement procedures are performed each year in the U.S. costing about $9B annually, the research says. About 60% are paid for by Medicare. The study suggests the success of the surgery may need to be weighed against the increasing costs. Reference Link |
