Orthopaedic implant cost perceptions: a survey of surgeons and healthcare administrators

Conclusions: This study identified that neither surgeons nor administrators could accurately estimate implant costs. Orthopaedic surgeons appeared more accurate and may be uniquely positioned to interface with administrators. Although our study was limited by a small sample size, it pointed to opportunity for collaboration between surgeons and administrators to better understand implant costs and maximize value. Level of Evidence: Level VI.
