Core Tip	In this meta-analysis, we systematically reviewed the literature and evaluated the clinical efficacy of female-specific vs conventional prostheses after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We found that although the overhang rate is lower with female-specific prostheses and range of motion in the female-specific prostheses group tended to be greater than the conventional prostheses group, the current evidence does not support that female-specific prostheses are superior to conventional ones after TKA with all other parameters, including Knee Society score, Hospital for Special Surgery scores and complications including deep infection, manipulation under anesthesia, revisions, anterior knee pain and deep vein thrombosis comparable between the two treatments.
