Although all-polyethylene trays were developed to address issues such as osteolysis and to enhance the longevity of the prosthesis, as well as knee range of motion, metal-backed designs have remained the most commonly used type of prosthesis. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the clinical, radiological, and survival outcomes of both designs.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Five databases were searched from inception until October 1, 2020, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the outcomes of all-polyethylene and metal-backed tibial components in TKA. The outcomes of interest included range of motion, knee society score, stairs climbing scores, radiostereographic analysis, survivorship and complication. This review was conducted in line with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle\u2013Ottawa tool.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 14 RCTs with 1367 TKA were included with a mean age of \u2013 years and \u2013 years for all-polyethylene and metal-backed tibial components groups, respectively. All-polyethylene group demonstrated statistically significant differences in five-year survivorship (OR 0.27; 95% CI 0.10\u20130.75; <jats:italic>p <\/jats:italic>value 0.01) and stairs climbing score (OR \u2212\u20092.07; 95% CI \u2212\u20093.27\u20130.87; <jats:italic>p <\/jats:italic>value 0.0007) when compared to the metal-backed group. The metal-backed design was significantly more radiographically stable in anterior\u2013posterior, varus\u2013valgus, and internal\u2013external rotations at the 2-year follow-up compared to all-polyethylene tibias (OR \u2212\u20090.09; 95% CI \u2212\u20090.16 to \u2212\u20090.02; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value 0.02) as per the pooled radiostereographic analysis. However, ten-year survivorship (OR 0.92; 95% CI 0.53\u20131.60; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value 0.78), range of motion (OR \u2212\u20090.57; 95% CI \u2212\u20092.00\u20130.85, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value 0.43), knee society scores (OR 1.38; 95% CI \u2212\u20090.47\u20133.23, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value 0.14), and complications (OR 0.83; 95% CI 0.5\u20131.39, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value 0.48) were comparable between both groups.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>While this meta-analysis suggests that all-polyethylene tibial components in total knee arthroplasty may offer advantages over metal-backed components in terms of five-year survivorship, and stairs climbing score, this finding should be considered in the context of potential confounding factors.
