Core Tip
Core tip: To determine whether cemented, cementless, or hybrid implant was superior to the other in terms of survival rate, a meta-analysis of 27 studies, comprising 5 clinical trials, 9 cohorts, and 13 registers, were performed to evaluate the risk ratios of revision due to any cause, aseptic loosening, infection, and dislocation rate. The risk ratios were pooled separately for clinical trials, cohorts and registers before pooled altogether using fixed-effect model. Meta-regressions were performed to identify the source of heterogeneity. Despite the limitations in this study, there was some tendency that cemented fixation was still superior than other types of fixation in terms of implant survival.
