Various issues are pointed out when we are facing the super-aging society in Japan.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the average life expectancy has increased since 2016 to 2001. (female 84.39 → 87.14 years old, male 78.07 → 80.98 years old).
The healthy life expectancy also has increased during the same period. (female 72.65 → 74.79 years old, male 69.40 → 72.14 years old)

In these circumstances, The Japanese Orthopaedic Association puts effort into the awareness campaign of the locomotive syndrome to contribute to extending the healthy lifespan. We would like to contribute to extending patients’ healthy lifespan by supporting Orthopedic surgeons who strives to recover and maintain the motor function.

We conduct supports by providing the information especially about the artificial joint surgery, the spinal surgery and the trauma surgery and the preoperative planning. We propose the proper use of surgical instruments that are highly specialized based on rich experiences and the implant. We also make suggestions through the joint business with many supply manufacturers to have the best interest of patients in an independent position.

We will continue to push forward with our mind putting patients first by supporting doctors.
