Why Orthopedic Clinics Need Flexible Financing Options

Orthopedic care often involves high-cost surgical procedures, many of which carry significant out-of-pocket expenses even for insured patients. Industry estimates show:

Total hip replacement: ~$23,200–$74,000, with a U.S. average near $40,400 (GoodRx).
Total knee replacement: around $35,000 average cost
ACL reconstruction: typically $20,000–$50,000, with averages around $15,445 (CostHelper)
Rotator cuff repair: around $22,894 without insurance; ranges from $8,400–$56,200 depending on complexity
Spinal fusion (lumbar): commonly $80,000–$150,000 without insurance (Spine-health).
Artificial lumbar disc replacement: often $20,000–$70,000, averaging around $30,000

These price tags make financing an essential tool for patient access — and a revenue booster for clinics.
