The forest plot shows a comparison of single- with two-stage revision in terms of functional outcome. The squares represent the overall hazard ratio; the larger squares represent larger studies. The bars either side represent 95% CI. There is heterogeneity among the studies but an overall trend exists toward better outcomes with single-stage revision. One study [22] shows significantly superior function with single-stage revision.
