Cemented versus uncemented fixation in total hip replacement: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Orthop Rev (Pavia). 2013 Mar 15;5(1):e8.9 RCTs, examining 778 patients, that compared cemented total hip replacement (THR) to uncemented THR were analyzed to determine a superior procedure in terms of revision rate and other secondary outcomes. This meta-analysis/systematic review presented findings that indicated cemented surgery for THR demonstrated comparable results to uncemented THR as measured by implant survival, and contributed to improved short term pain scores. A poor correlation between radiographic and clinical findings was observed and the study called for further uniform standard studies to validate these findings.
