The marginal cost of total hip replacement was analysed at a county hospital in Denmark. We found that, with correction for inflation the price of a hip prosthesis has remained stable. In addition, we found that the cost of total hip replacement at a public hospital is considerably lower than the price listed at private hospitals in Denmark. We therefore conclude, that from an economic viewpoint it would be better to expand the existing capacity at public hospitals than that the public health service should pay for treatment of patients at private hospitals.
我们对丹麦一家县医院全髋关节置换的边际成本进行了分析。我们发现，经通胀调整后，髋关节假体的价格一直保持稳定。此外，我们发现公立医院全髋关节置换的成本远低于丹麦私立医院列出的价格。因此，我们得出结论，从经济角度来看，扩大公立医院的现有规模比让公共卫生服务机构为私立医院的患者治疗付费要好。
