If hip arthritis steals your mobility, a total hip replacement offers renewal—and DPC ensures your surgery and recovery are coordinated, affordable, and tailored to your needs.
THR replaces damaged hip joints with prosthetics. Key details:
Approaches: Anterior (muscle-sparing) or posterior; 90–95% success rate.
Uses: Treats osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, fractures.
Safety: Low infection risk (<1%); same-day discharge possible.
Key facts:
Costs: DPC memberships (150–400 USD/month) cover pre-op consults and follow-ups, unlike traditional fees (20,000–40,000 USD/surgery).
Risks of delay: Muscle atrophy, chronic pain, disability.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms joint care through proactive coordination and patient-first focus.
Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Prep
Rapid diagnostics: Schedule X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans within 72 hours.
Prehab programs: Strengthen glutes and core for faster recovery.
Medication management: Adjust blood thinners or DMARDs pre-op.
Transparent Pricing and Holistic Support
All-inclusive care: Membership covers surgeon coordination, PT, and post-op meds.
Cost savings: Save 25–50% on facility fees via self-pay DPC rates.
Mental health focus: Address surgery-related anxiety with counseling.
Personalized Recovery and Long-Term Health
24/7 access: Address post-op pain, swelling, or fever immediately.
Virtual PT: Guide early mobility exercises via telehealth.
Preventive care: Recommend calcium/vitamin D to protect bone health.
Zero wait times: 90% of DPC patients schedule surgery within 2 weeks vs. 6+ weeks traditionally.
Continuity: One team manages pain control, wound care, and PT adherence.
No hidden fees: Transparent pricing (e.g., 18,000 USD all-inclusive for anterior approach).
Case 1: Linda, 68, with severe osteoarthritis
Linda’s DPC team performed anterior THR; she walked unaided in 3 days.
Case 2: Raj, 55, post-avascular necrosis
Raj’s DPC provider used ceramic implants, restoring his golf swing in 12 weeks.
Q: How long is recovery?
A: 6–12 weeks; avoid high-impact sports for 6 months.
Q: Will I need a walker?
A: Yes—for 2–4 weeks; DPC arranges home delivery.
Q: Can the implant loosen?
A: <5% at 10 years; DPC monitors via annual X-rays.
Q: What if pain persists?
A: DPC explores injections, revisions, or pain management.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) emphasizes preoperative optimization. DPC delivers by:
Reducing complications: Prehab cuts dislocation rates by 30%.
Boosting adherence: 95% of DPC patients complete PT vs. 70% nationally.
Saving costs: Members save 8,000–20,000 USD through bundled pricing.
THR in DPC isn’t just about a new joint—it’s about partnering with a team dedicated to your active future. With DPC, bypass insurance delays, access top surgeons, and gain a recovery plan that adapts to your pace. From pre-op prep to pain-free strides, experience care that moves you forward.
