Abstract
An economic evaluation of energy-absorbing flooring designed to prevent hip fractures revealed a payback period of 10 1/4 years if only direct costs avoided were evaluated and just over 11 months when direct and indirect costs were included. Cost-effectiveness ratios of less than $0 per hip fracture prevented and life year saved were also estimated.
