Comparing the posterolateral and the direct lateral approach for cemented hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture: a cost-effectiveness analysis
We found no conclusive evidence of any differences between the surgical approaches with respect to costs, QALYs, and cost-effectiveness. We therefore suggest that, from an economic viewpoint, the 2 surgical approaches should be treated as interchangeable.
