Summary

This study compares costs and effectiveness / utility of three common orthopedic surgeries in shoulder and hand from the perspective of the Swiss health system and the clinic.

The cost of health care is continuously rising, making economic considerations part of the decision process, in particular for the allocation of available resources. However, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility studies of interventions in the upper extremities are rare. The purpose of this study is to gain more information and to provide a basis for the decision process.

Conditions

  • Degenerative Arthritis of Left Glenohumeral Joint
  • Degenerative Arthritis of Right Glenohumeral Joint
  • Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy
  • Rotator Cuff Tear
  • Trapeziometacarpal Osteoarthritis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Operated TSA Patients

Total shoulder prosthesis: Anatomic or reverse total shoulder replacement is a well-standardized procedure usually performed under general anesthesia with the patient in a beach-chair position

PROCEDURE

Operated RCR Patients

Arthroscopic rotator cuff tear reconstruction. The shoulder arthroscopy is performed according to internal and international standard procedure with patients positioned in beach-chair position under general anesthesia.

PROCEDURE

Resection interposition suspension arthroplasty (RISA)

One of five surgical techniques can be used in this study, as routinely performed by each surgeon: 1. RISA with FCR-Ligament (flexor carpi radialis ligament) modified according to Epping 2. RISA with FCR-Ligament modified according to Weilby 3. RISA with APL-Ligament (abductor pollicis longus ligament) 4. RISA with Graftjacket modified according to Weilby 5. Resection arthroplasty
