Abstract
Injury and musculoskeletal disorders are a major cause of death, disability, and decreased quality of life in developing countries. Thus, understanding the cost-effectiveness of orthopedic care in low- and middle-income countries may help to guide future outreach. A systematic review was conducted on the literature available on the cost-effectiveness of surgical trips that provided orthopedic-related care and extracted data regarding the cost-effectiveness of the orthopedic-related interventions. The cost-effectiveness of the interventions was determined using the WHO-CHOICE thresholds.Entities:
