Abstract

USD$2679 and major bleeding was USD$5564. Similar estimations were found for knee replacement events. CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of VTE events related to orthopedic surgery can significantly impact the costs of surgery, particularly given that in Argentina the cost of hip replacement was estimated as USD $1959 and the cost of knee replacement as USD $1193. One must therefore consider treatments given for VTE prevention, as these therapies not only impact survival and quality of life but can also substantially impact the efficient use of health care resources.
