Cemented Hemiarthroplasty Results in Substantial Cost Savings Over Uncemented Hemiarthroplasty for the Treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures in Patients Over 60 Years Old: A Markov Analysis
Despite documented higher upfront costs for cemented HHA, the averaged total costs over a 10-year time horizon were $2,534 less for cemented HHA than for uncemented HHA. In addition, cemented HHA resulted in an additional 0.9 QALYs relative to uncemented HHA. The findings of this US-based study replicate the financial and quality-of-life benefits of cemented HHA for elderly FNFs seen in other health systems.
