Costs of outpatient total hip arthroplasties were compared with costs of a matched group of patients having inpatient total hip arthroplasties. Ten patients were in each group and had surgery by the same surgeon in the same hospital. The average hospital bill for the outpatients was $4000 less than for the inpatients. The total average charge including prehospital, intrahospital, and posthospital care for the outpatients was approximately $2500 less than for the inpatients. The total average reimbursement was $1155 less for the outpatients. Results of this pilot study show that outpatient total hip arthroplasty is financially advantageous.

对门诊全髋关节置换术的费用与一组匹配的住院全髋关节置换术患者的费用进行了比较。每组有10名患者，由同一位外科医生在同一家医院进行手术。门诊患者的平均住院费用比住院患者少4000美元。门诊患者包括院前、院内和院后护理的总平均费用比住院患者大约少2500美元。门诊患者的总平均报销费用少1155美元。这项初步研究的结果表明，门诊全髋关节置换术在经济上具有优势。
