description <i>Background and Objectives</i>: Adequate initial fixation of the uncemented acetabular component in total hip arthroplasty is necessary to achieve long-term survival. Although screw fixation contributes to improved cup stability, there is currently no consensus on the use of this method. This study aimed to assess the existing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of cup fixation in total hip arthroplasty without screws. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: We searched the EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases to identify RCTs published before February 2022. Primary outcomes were reoperation, cup migration, and Harris Hip Score. Secondary outcomes were the presence of a radiolucent line in the acetabular region, translation and rotation movement, and polyethylene wear. We conducted meta-analyses using the random-effects models. The revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to assess the risk of bias for outcomes of interest; the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was used to summarize the body of evidence. <i>Results</i>: We included six reports from four studies. Total hip arthroplasty without screw fixation to the acetabular cup had little to no effect on reoperation (pooled relative risk, 0.98; 95% confidence interval, 0.14–6.68; <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 0%), cup migration (pooled relative risk, 1.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.29–10.33; <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 1%), Harris Hip Score (mean difference, 1.19; 95% confidence interval, −1.31–3.70; <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 0%), radiolucent line (pooled relative risk, 5.91; 95% confidence interval, 0.32–109.35), translation and rotation of all axes, and polyethylene wear (mean difference, 0.01; 95% confidence interval, −0.01–0.04; <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 0%), with very low certainty of evidence on all measures. <i>Conclusions</i>: The efficacy of acetabular cups without screw fixation in total hip arthroplasty remains uncertain, suggesting the need for prudent clinical application. Further large-scale, well-designed studies with low risk of bias are required.
