We're proud to share that our Founder, Dr William Andrew Hodge and our Executive Director, Laura Woodard are attending the Southern Orthopaedic Association (SOA) 43rd Annual Meeting this week at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The meeting brings together leading orthopaedic surgeons, researchers, and innovators from across the region to exchange the latest advances in patient care and musculoskeletal research.

As IML continues its mission to advance evidence-based solutions for mobility and longevity, opportunities like the SOA Annual Meeting provide an invaluable forum to collaborate with colleagues, share ideas, and stay at the forefront of orthopaedic innovation.

If you're attending the meeting, be sure to say hello!

The Institute for Mobility and Longevity was proud to have both our founder, Dr William Andrew Hodge, and our Ortho Florida Adult Reconstruction Fellow, Dr. Luciano Ramires, present at FL OrthoCon 2026 in Orlando.

Dr. Hodge shared findings from the SciMo Study and discussed the role of biomechanical footwear modifications in treating knee osteoarthritis pain during Clinical Track Session 1.

Dr. Ramires presented his research, โ€œIn Vivo Fluoroscopic Analysis of a New TKA Design,โ€ as part of the Fellows Research Competition and earned an impressive 3rd-place finish.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing conversation around mobility, innovation, and advancing orthopaedic patient care. Congratulations to Dr. Ramires on this outstanding achievement, and thank you to the Florida Orthopaedic Society for hosting another excellent meeting.

It has been a great conference so far!

Dr William Andrew Hodge enjoyed meeting and spending time with Cynthia Jackson and her team from Cobb Management, whose hard work helps make meetings like FL OrthoCon possible.

Thank you to Cynthia and the entire team for all they do behind the scenes to create such a successful event.

This morning, Dr William Andrew Hodge had the opportunity to present at FL OrthoCon 2026 during Clinical Track Session 1.

His presentation, โ€œTreating Knee Osteoarthritis Pain with Biomechanical Modifications of Footwear,โ€ shared insights from the SciMo Study conducted through the Institute for Mobility and Longevity.

As knee osteoarthritis continues to affect so many patients, it was encouraging hear him discuss practical, evidence-based approaches that may help improve mobility, reduce pain, and support long-term quality of life.

Weโ€™re looking forward to attending Florida Orthopaedic Society's FL OrthoCon 2026 in Orlando this week and spending time with colleagues from around the state.

Our founder, Dr William Andrew Hodge be speaking on treating knee osteoarthritis pain through biomechanical modifications of footwear โ€” a topic Iโ€™ve enjoyed continuing to study and discuss as we look for practical ways to help patients stay active and mobile.

One of the best parts of meetings like this is the conversations outside the lecture hall. If youโ€™re attending, we'd enjoy catching up! Find us for coffee between sessions.

Safe travels to everyone heading to Orlando, and we look forward to seeing many friends and colleagues there.

Great hearing Arnold Schwarzenegger speak today in his role as Chief Movement Officer for Zimmer Biomet. His message resonated strongly from an orthopedic perspective: movement is medicine.

He spoke about overcoming failure, staying committed to a clear vision, and the power of teamwork. Just as important was his focus on prevention โ€” educating people on protecting their joints, avoiding injury, and taking ownership of their health.

A great reminder that keeping people moving is one of the most powerful things we can do in medicine!
