Intraoperative Waste of Trauma Implants: A Cost Burden to Hospitals Worth Addressing
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 10/26/09
Zywiel MG et al. – There is a small but notable annual incidence and cost of orthopaedic trauma implant waste in the study region with the majority of this cost borne by the hospitals. However, implant waste occurs infrequently and represents a very small cost to hospitals per procedure. Educational programs and other strategies to reduce its incidence are unlikely to yield any substantial cost savings.
