The researchers reviewed data from a private insurance database on 32,143 individuals aged 16 years to 79 years and identified a statistically significant increase of mean aggregate productivity of $8,968 after surgical treatment for FAI. A cost-effectiveness analysis showed a mean cumulative total 10-year societal savings of $67,418 per patient from hip arthroscopy compared to nonsurgical treatment, along with a gain of 2.03 quality-adjusted life years. The researchers estimated the mean cost for hip arthroscopy to be $23,120 ± $10,279, while the mean cost of nonsurgical treatment was estimated to be $91,602 ± $14,675. Learn more...
