Contingent Valuation Studies in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Health Economic Review

ConclusionCVM is not commonly reported in orthopaedic surgery and is seldom used in the context of cost –benefit analysis. There is wide variability in the methods used to perform CVM. We propose that CVM is an appropriate and underappreciated method for understanding the value of orthopaedic interventions. Increased attention should be paid to consumer valuations for orthopaedic interventions.
