According to AOAJRR data, in the class of multiradius femoral design, the prosthesis with<br />

highest effectiveness is P.F.C. SIGMA. We defined this as our base line prosthesis. P.F.C. SIGMA is<br />

also the dominant prosthesis compared to LCS, GENESIS II OXINIUM and NEXGEN LPS-FLEX as<br />

shown by their negative ICERs. The other prosthesis types (AGC, BALANSYS, GENESIS II and NEX-<br />

GEN LPS) have a positive incremental cost as they are cheaper than base line (Table 8.3). The<br />

effectiveness differentials are all positive because by definition the baseline prosthesis is the most<br />

effective. Figure 8.2 shows graphically variations of costs and effects by model compared with the<br />

base line model. NEXGEN LPS has the highest cost-effectiveness as it has similar effectiveness (the<br />

difference against base line is 0,1%) but costs € 458,62 less than base line.<br />
