That’s a great question with an unknown answer. Of course, many if not most patients in the world with arthritis will not seek medical care, or do not have access to medical care. The real answer is that no one needs surgery for arthritis. The percentage of people who decide to get surgery for arthritis depends on the location of the arthritis anatomically. I would guess that it’s in the 10% to 20% range.
