ABSTRACT
The meta-analysis has become one of the predominant studies designs in orthopaedic literature. Within recent years, the network meta-analysis has been implicated as a powerful approach to comparing multiple treatments for an outcome of interest when conducting a meta-analysis (as opposed to two competing treatments which is typical of a traditional meta-analysis). With the increasing use of the network meta-analysis, it is imperative for readers to possess the ability to independently and critically evaluate these types of studies. The purpose of this article is to provide the necessary foundation of knowledge to both properly conduct and interpret the results of a network meta-analysis.
