knee replacements soaring
Knee Replacements On The Rise Among Seniors Janice Lloyd writing in USA Today reported on a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which found that the "number of total knee replacement surgeries has soared 161.5% among Medicare participants over the past 20 years, a $5 billion annual tab that will continue to grow as the USA #39;s 77 million Baby Boomers age." The article says that "the wider use of knee replacement, on one hand, is good news for the rapidly aging population." However, it adds that although "knee surgery eases pain from severe arthritis and improves quality of life," the study authors say the improvements "can be viewed as another strain on government, individuals, and businesses struggling with unremitting growth in health care costs." There #39;s got to be a better way. I still advocate stem cells.
