Abstract
The cost of healthcare spending in foot and ankle surgery continues to rise. Several recent studies about cost effectiveness have been published. These may be difficult to understand and analyze without a background in business and healthcare economics. The goal of this narrative review is to provide the fundamentals for understanding and interpreting healthcare economic studies by defining key terminology and providing examples in the field of foot and ankle surgery. Foot and ankle surgeons should be familiar with the elements that comprise cost-effectiveness for providers, clinicians, researchers, and economists in caring for patients and making healthcare-related decisions.
