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!
