Cost-Effectiveness of Instrumented Versus Uninstrumented Posterolateral Fusion for Single-Level Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Instrumented fusion is cost-effective compared uninstrumented fusion, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ration well below the standard range of cost-effectivenes, the difference in cost was driven by lower reoperation rates and less health care resource utilization over a two-year time horizon.
