Cost-benefit analysis of hip fracture treatment

MJ Parker, JW Myles, JK Anand, and R Drewett

Peterborough District Hospital, England.

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.
