Hip replacement surgery requires specialized expertise, especially for revisions. General practitioners show varied referral practices, highlighting a need for improved communication and awareness of specialist availability.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Hip replacement surgery is increasingly specialized.
  • Evidence suggests specialist surgeons are optimal, particularly for revision procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit general practitioners' (GPs) referral practices for hip replacement surgery.
  • To identify variations in referral patterns and assess GP knowledge of specialist availability.

Main Methods:

  • Audit of general practitioners' referral practices.
  • Analysis of referral decisions regarding specialist vs. generalist orthopaedic surgeons.

Main Results:

  • Significant variation in GP referral practices was observed.
  • One-third of GPs indicated willingness to refer to generalist orthopaedic surgeons for hip procedures.
