q3 i? The pooled estimate did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in revision rates between late and early cases (OR 0.31; 95% CI 0.01 to 10.95); equivalence was not tested. → Ramadanov N 2026

Evidence¶

Ramadanov N 2026¶

Ramadanov N, Heinz M, Hable R, Becker R, Banke IJ. (2026). Surgeon experience in hip arthroscopy improves operative efficiency and reduces conversion to total hip arthroplasty: A meta‐analysis. Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy. https://doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70431

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Random-effects meta-analysis of three studies reporting revision surgery, where individual odds ratios ranged from 0.04 to 0.70 with all studies favouring late cases. The pooled estimate "did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in revision rates", with moderate heterogeneity (I² = 44%).

"The pooled random‐effects estimate did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in revision rates between late and early cases (OR 0.31; 95% CI 0.01 to 10.95)."
