Abstract

This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of partial weight bearing (PWB) versus early full weight bearing (FWB) after uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). We conducted a search in PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs comparing PWB and early FWB after uncemented THA. Two authors conducted the selection of studies, data extraction, and assessment of risk of bias independently. A pooled meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software. Six RCTs and three non-RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis indicated that compared with PWB, the FWB group showed greater femoral subsidence at 3-month follow-up (MD = -0.12, 95% CI -0.22 to -0.01, P = 0.03). There were no significant differences in the hip Harris score at 1-year and 2-year follow-up (MD = 1.54, 95% CI -0.83 to 3.90, P = 0.20; MD = 0.08, 95% CI -1.19 to 1.34, P = 0.90, respectively), in femoral subsidence at 2-year follow-up and at two additional years of follow-up (MD = -0.03, 95% CI -0.31 to 0.25, P = 0.84; (MD = -0.02, 95% CI -0.37 to 0.33, P = 0.91, respectively). There were no significant differences in the incidences of bone ingrowth fixation, spot welds, and radiolucent lines. This meta-analysis shows that early FWB in patients with uncemented THA could be safe and could not increase the incidence of postoperative complications.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 16. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 August 2021.
All research outputs
#2,020,865
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#42
of 1,466 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,177
of 310,704 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#3
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,466 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 310,704 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
