We conducted a comparative study of medical treatment costs for femoral neck fractures among three medical facilities from the following prefectures: (A) Chiba, (B) Fukushima and (C) Kagoshima. Cases were sampled from patients who underwent femoral neck fracture surgery from January 2003 to March 2004. We analyzed the medical expenses of 50 cases from each hospital. Statistidal results show that surgery of intracapsular fracture and rehabilitation costs in hospital A were significantly more expensive when compared to the other two hospitals: in addition, the X-ray and injection costs were more expensive in hospital A. The most expensive post operation consultation was found in hospital C. Admission and rehabilitation terms were the longest in hospital A, and consultation costs in hospital A were the most expensive. Perhaps coordination with community health and care-giving services would help to shorten the admission period in the hospital.
