    The study compares the cost-effectiveness of PFNA and FHR treatments for basicervical femoral neck fractures in patients aged 60 and above.

  • 2

    PFNA demonstrated a lower cost-effectiveness ratio compared to FHR, making it the preferred option for long-term functional recovery.

  • 3

    FHR provided faster early functional recovery but was less cost-effective, requiring additional costs exceeding China's willingness-to-pay threshold.

  • 4

    Both PFNA and FHR achieved favorable clinical outcomes, highlighting the importance of patient-specific characteristics in surgical decision-making.

  • 5

    Future studies are needed to evaluate long-term costs and validate findings while considering indirect costs and minimizing selection bias.
