[..] All operations were done in the same operating room , utilizing the same direct lateral approach and surgical technique. Post-operative care was the same. [..] Accurate patient cost was documented for each patient's in-hospital stay, as well as out-patient costs during the first year. Cost to quality adjusted life year data was then generated, such that comparisons could be made [..].Authors believe this study as the first randomized clinical trial comparing two orthopaedic implants.
