Arthroplasty instability was considered an event. This outcome predicts knee arthroplasty revision rates because of aseptic loosening (provides indirect evidence).

Absolute risk difference = 16% (95% CI ‐0.27 to ‐0.05)

Relative percent change = 53% (95% CI 8 to 76%)

NNTH = 7 (95% CI 5 to 44)

Toksvig‐Larsen 1988 reported that all of the patients were satisfied with the results at a 2 year follow‐up. We found no mention of degrees of satisfaction.

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk among studies) is provided in the footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% CI) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio;

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis predicts the arthroplasty instability. We downgraded for indirectness of evidence.

2The type of fixation of the femoral component was different from the tibial component in 3 out of 4 studies. It was not possible to correlate some adverse events to the cementation of the arthroplasty from the study description even when the type of fixation of the femoral and tibial components was the same (Nilsson 1999).
