General practitioners (GPs) in Germany possess good knowledge of total hip arthroplasty (THA) but overestimate complication risks. Improved communication between GPs and surgeons is needed for better patient outcomes and satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • General Practice
  • Health Services Research

Context:

  • General Practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in referring patients for total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  • Understanding GPs' perspectives on THA is essential for optimizing patient care pathways.
  • Current knowledge and views of German GPs regarding THA have not been extensively surveyed.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the general knowledge of German General Practitioners (GPs) concerning total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  • To assess the individual views and perceptions of GPs regarding THA, including complication rates and patient satisfaction.
  • To identify potential areas for improvement in the information exchange between GPs and orthopedic surgeons.

Summary:

  • A survey of 200 German GPs revealed that 94 returned questionnaires, reporting experience with a mean of 37.7 THA patients.

  • GPs demonstrated good general knowledge of THA but perceived complication rates as higher than literature suggests.
  • Increased exposure to complications correlated with lower perceived long-term patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction with surgical indications.

    • Impact:

    • Findings highlight a discrepancy between GPs' perceived risks and published data, suggesting a need for updated information.
    • The study underscores the necessity for enhanced communication and information transfer between orthopedic surgeons and referring GPs.
    • Addressing these communication gaps can potentially improve the accuracy of THA indications and enhance patient satisfaction post-surgery.
