Increased complications and cost associated with hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture: evaluation of 576,119 Medicare patients treated with hip arthroplasty.
The authors compared perioperative complications and costs of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) to hemiarthroplasty (HA) and THA for treatment of femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Data from CMS were used to identify all patients 65 or older undergoing primary hip arthroplasty. The results showed that CMS hip arthroplasty patients with an FNF had significantly higher rates of mortality, thromboembolic events, readmission, and greater direct cost. The authors concluded that reimbursement models for arthroplasty should account for different perioperative complication and resource utilization for FNF patients.
