Total hip replacement in the elderly: cost-effective alternatives. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The cost of the prosthetic components can represent approximately 15% to 25% of the total cost of hospitalization, depending upon whether cemented or cementless fixation is selected. The excellent long-term clinical data of cemented fixation and the cost of the implants clearly favor cemented fixation for total hip arthroplasty in the elderly patient.
