Epub 2013 Aug 28Five studies (3 RCTs, 1 Cohort, 1 Case-control) were included in this analysis comparing fixation with and without screws in cementless acetabular component in total hip arthroplasty.

Pooled results indicated that there were no significant differences in the outcomes of interest between fixation with and without screws.
