  • Title: Total hip replacement in the elderly: cost-effective alternatives.
    Author: Evans BG, Salvati EA.
    Journal: Instr Course Lect; 1994; 43():359-65. PubMed ID: 9097165.
    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.
