Sammanfattning
This article summarizes the current level of evidence for cost-effectiveness in lumbar spinal fusion. Several economic evaluations have recently been conducted alongside randomized controlled trials, but choices of populations and comparators are diverse. Overall, cost-effectiveness depends on clinical outcomes, but there is some evidence that the best technology leads to extra-hospital cost-savings. The optimal technique, therefore, remains a clinical research question.
