Objectives To determine the cost-effectiveness of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF)

Objectives To determine the cost-effectiveness of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures in adults. power difference between nonoperative treatment and ORIF was greater than 0.034 (base-case difference 0.014). Short-term disutility associated with fracture healing also affected cost-effectiveness, with the cost per QALY gained for ORIF falling below $50,000 when the power… Continue reading Objectives To determine the cost-effectiveness of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF)
