Operative treatment was more cost-effective than alternatives for displaced subcapital and extracapsular hip fractures, while conservative care was nearly as cost-effective for undisplaced fractures.
Is operative treatment more cost-effective than conservative treatment in patients with hip fractures?
Operative treatment is the most cost-effective approach for displaced subcapital and extracapsular hip fractures.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
We have determined the quality-adjusted-life-years and cost of such in several types of hip fracture and various treatment options. Operative treatment proved more cost-effective than other methods for displaced subcapital fractures and for extracapsular fractures. For undisplaced subcapital fractures conservative treatment was almost as cost-effective as surgery.
Parker et al. (Sun,) reported a other. Operative treatment was more cost-effective than alternatives for displaced subcapital and extracapsular hip fractures, while conservative care was nearly as cost-effective for undisplaced fractures.
