Meta-analysis results are shown for the comparison of THA with hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular hip fractures regarding complications. The forest plots show pooled RRs with 95% CIs suggesting (A) THA is not associated with lower rate of local infections (analysis of eight studies; fixed-effects model), (B) THA is not associated with lower rate of general complications (analysis of nine studies; fixed-effects model), and (C) THA is associated with higher rate of dislocations (analysis of 11 studies; random-effects model). RR = risk ratio.
