The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons has estimated that 257,000 primary knee procedures were performed in the United States in 2000, and that number is expected to grow to 457,000 primary procedures by 2030 (Frankowski and Watkins-Castillio 2002). As already discussed in Chapter 4, tire incidence of knee arthroplasty is greater than hip arthroplasty (see Figure 5.2). In the United States, more an 60% of primary knee procedures are performed on women (Frankowski and Watkins-Castillio 2002).
