Abstract
TORRE ROJAS, MIGUEL DE LA; RIVALTA DEL SOL, DIGNA and MENENDEZ HERNANDEZ, ELENA. Cost of the surgical treatment of Perthes' disease. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1996, vol.10, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.
10 patients suffering from Perthes disease and who were operated on by the AO system were studied to check how much the treatment of this affection costs. Conclusions were reached after having made the analysis to determine the expenses of the different cost centers taking part in this procedure. Thus, it was possible to know and to plan the necessary resources and to modify even some therapeutic schemes making this surgery more expensive.
