July 15, 2024, Tampa, FL — Dr. William Andrew Hodge, Chairman & Founder, The Institute of Mobility and
Longevity, has received Notice of Allowance from the US Patent Office for his groundbreaking
patent ‘Lateral & Medial Pivoting Knee Prosthesis’. This patent marks a landmark advancement
in knee replacement surgery, enhancing both functionality and durability in knee prostheses.

Revolutionary ‘Dual Pivoting’ Motion

Dr. Hodge’s patented design introduces a unique ‘dual pivoting’ motion, addressing the
inefficiencies found in traditional knee replacement methods. This innovation promises to
revolutionize the billion dollar orthopedic device industry by improving implant power, efficiency
and durability, ultimately leading to happier patients with better outcomes.

Culmination of Years of Research

“This patent represents a culmination of years of research that all started in Boston where I
worked both with Harvard and MIT Universities.” said Dr. Hodge, orthopedic surgeon and
bio-engineer. “Our pivoting knee prosthesis not only improves stability and strength for
patients but also simplifies the surgical process for orthopedic surgeons, ensuring more
satisfied outcomes.”

Industry Recognition and Impact

The technology has already garnered interest from notable figures and organizations in the
orthopedic community. Manufacturers and researchers alike are recognizing the potential of this
‘dual pivot’ design to set new standards in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgeries.

Proven Track Record

Dr. Hodge’s earlier patent “Prosthetic Knee Implant for an ACL Deficient Total Knee
Replacement” was the first patented ‘pivoting’ knee replacement design in 1995. Extensive
clinical studies demonstrate its effectiveness and longevity, laying the groundwork for his
latest ‘dual pivot’ knee innovation. Published studies have highlighted the success of Dr.
Hodge’s designs in enhancing patient mobility and reducing implant wear.

Global Impact

With over a million knee replacements performed globally each year, the impact of this new
technology is expected to be profound. Dr Ronald Gardner, CEO of Gardner Orthopedics, Ft
Myers. FL, states that ‘I am excited that Dr Hodge has pioneered this remarkable ‘Dual Pivot’
Knee technology providing a more natural feeling knee replacement to patients around the
world.’ The many patients suffering from severe knee arthritis will benefit from increased
functionality and extended implant lifespans, greatly improving their quality of life .
