Arthroplasty

In February, HAS published a set of decisions about add-on reimbursement of medical devices that were evaluated by the National Commission for Evaluation of Medical Devices and Health Technologies (CNEDiMTS). These decisions concern cardiac pacemakers, devices for aortic root replacement, orthopedic devices (double mobility cups, porous high-density polyethylene implants) and other devices.

AETSA aimed to establish recommendations for clinical practice on hip arthroplasty in patients with osteoarthritis through a systematic appraisal of evidence. High-level recommendations for hip arthroplasty and selection of type of implants were made.
