I've noticed the patients we are doing knee replacements on have gotten younger. Never really saw people 50 or under getting them when I started in surgery. Then again, the patients are also typically morbidly obese and there is no shortage of them in the US.

That’s an unfortunate trend, though I’m glad you’re there to give people another chance at mobility. With some of the new options I’ve heard buzz about, I hope people are able to get the help they need to thrive and maybe reverse that trend.
