The prevalence and risk factors for peripheral nerve injury following arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the prevalence and identify the risk factors for peripheral nerve injury (PNI) following arthroplasty through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for observational studies investigating the prevalence and risk factors for PNI following arthroplasty. Prevalence data for PNI following arthroplasty were extracted and pooled using a random-effects model, with results presented as pooled prevalence with 95% CI. ORs and 95% CIs for identified risk factors were calculated. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on age, study type, sample size, arthroplasty site, region, and others. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger's test, and sensitivity analyses were performed.
