Meta-analysis results are shown for the comparison of THA with hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular hip fractures regarding efficacy. The forest plot shows pooled RRs with 95% CIs suggesting (A) THA is associated with lower rate of reoperations (analysis of 10 studies; fixed-effects model) and (B) THA is not associated with lower rate of mortality (analysis of nine studies; fixed-effects model). (C) A forest plot shows pooled WMDs with 95% CIs suggesting THA is associated with better hip function (analysis of six individual studies; random-effects model). RR = risk ratio; WMD = weighted mean difference.
