Brisbane Hip Clinic

What Brisbane Hip Clinic does

Brisbane Hip Clinic is a single-specialty orthopedic medical practice based in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia, founded in 2008 by A/Prof Patrick Weinrauch. The practice exclusively manages hip joint disorders, offering a comprehensive spectrum of surgical and non-surgical treatment options through a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, dietitians, anaesthetists, and nursing staff. Core surgical offerings include hip arthroscopy (minimally invasive keyhole surgery), hip resurfacing in both metal-on-metal and ceramic configurations, total hip replacement via the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) and conventional approaches, revision hip replacement, and hip fracture surgery. The practice distinguishes itself with proprietary techniques including ultrasound-assisted hip arthroscopy and patient-specific instrumentation for resurfacing femoral component preparation. Non-surgical services span physiotherapy, exercise physiology, dietetics, strength and conditioning programs, viscosupplementation, PRP injections, and radiofrequency neurotomy.

The business operates on a referral-based professional services model: patients require GP or specialist referrals for Medicare rebate eligibility, and all surgeries are conducted at St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital in Spring Hill under a core partnership arrangement. Revenue streams comprise specialist consultations (pay-on-day), surgical procedural fees (settled pre-operatively), non-surgical treatment programs, and telemedicine consultations delivered via Facebook Messenger for regional, interstate, and international patients. The practice follows AMA fee schedule recommendations and accepts DVA insurance. GTM relies on medical professional referrals, an extensive patient education library, podcast appearances, conference presentations, and industry reference centre surgeon status with major orthopedic device manufacturers (Zimmer-Biomet, DePuy Synthes) rather than traditional consumer marketing.
