  1. Numbers in brackets are SEs
  2. aIn Analysis 3, the bootstraps were weighted using weights calculated using a sample of 324 patients randomised only in the bearing comparison (163 to mobile bearing and 161 to fixed bearing) and 1333 patients randomised only in the patella comparison (673 to patella resurfacing and 660 to no resurfacing)
