Description
Two ways of reaching the hip joint during partial hip replacement differ in cost as well as technique, and a Dutch team priced both inside a randomized trial. Esser and co-authors followed 555 hip fracture patients for six months after cemented hemiarthroplasty. Quality-adjusted life years differed by a trivial 0.02 between the posterolateral and direct lateral approaches. Costs leaned slightly higher for one approach, but the confidence ranges crossed zero from both healthcare and societal viewpoints.
The chance of either approach being cost-effective hovered near fifty-fifty at generous payment thresholds. The authors conclude the two approaches are economically interchangeable.
