How Does BFH® Technology Address Dislocation?

CURRENT DISLOCATION COSTS

Estimating a conservative 2% dislocation rate, there would be a corresponding 6,000 dislocated hip arthroplasties each year.

· Non-operatively treated - 4,500 (75%) - $6,000
      Cost: relocation, brace, x-rays, rehabilitation

· Operatively treated - 1,500 (25%) - $25,000
      Cost: operation, brace, rehabilitation

$6,000 x 4,500 = $27 million
$25,000 x 1,500 = $37.5 million

$64.5 million - Total cost of dislocation per year in the United States.

Dislocations are costing the healthcare system a fortune!
