Routine fixation of humeral shaft fractures is cost-effective: cost-utility analysis of 215 patients at a mean of five years following nonoperative management

Routine fixation of humeral shaft fractures is cost-effective: cost-utility analysis of 215 patients at a mean of five years following nonoperative management

Aims: The primary aim was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of routine operative fixation for all patients with humeral shaft fractures. The secondary aim was to estimate the health economic implications of using a Radiographic Union Score for HUmeral fractures (RUSHU) of < 8 to facilitate sele...
