    Cost-benefit analysis of hip fracture treatment.

    Source

    Peterborough District Hospital, England.

    Abstract

    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.
