MSK surgeries account for roughly half of total MSK healthcare spending in the United States despite studies indicating that many procedures may be unnecessary. Hinge Health believes its expanded HingeSelect platform addresses this gap by offering coordinated care across the full treatment journey.

The program starts with conservative treatment options and orthopedic assessments to determine whether surgery is necessary. For members who require surgical intervention, the HingeSelect platform provides care through Hinge Health’s in-house orthopedic specialists, digital care solutions and in-person provider network.

The company highlighted that personalized peri-surgical physical therapy, delivered both digitally and in person, has been shown to reduce post-surgical complications by 21%. HingeSelect’s network offers high-quality care at costs 30-50% below standard rates. The platform has a provider footprint of more than 4,100 locations and has reduced imaging and surgery utilization by more than 60% compared with commercial benchmarks.
