Influence of body mass index in revision total knee arthroplasty

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the body mass index (BMI) on the functional assessment of patients who underwent revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). METHODS: Thirty patients who un-derwent RTKA between January 2008 and January 2012 were retrospectively assessed using the WOMAC questionnaire. The patients were divided into three groups according to the BMI ca-tegories defined by the World Health Organization (WHO): Group I with normal BMI (18-24.9 Kg/m2), with eight patients; Group II, overweight (… Show more

“…Our results suggest that functional outcome is an important predictor of patient satisfaction following RTKA. Other authors have reported that increased BMI in RTKA is associated with poorer functional outcomes, increased early readmission and complication rates post‐operatively 25,26 . The reason for improved satisfaction in the higher BMI patients within our cohort is not clear, however further investigation into the high BMI cohort of RTKA patients is of increasing importance due to the trends of BMI increase in the RTKA patient population 27 .…”

“…aseptischer und septischer Patienten gemacht. In der Studie von Bieger et al wurden nur aseptische Patienten nachuntersucht, de Carvalho et al hingegen untersuchten septische und aseptische Patientengruppen [20,21]. Die Studien zeigten jedoch, dass Patienten mit einem septischen revisionsendoprothetischen Eingriff generell eine schlechtere postoperative Funktion und erhöhte Schmerzscores haben.…”

“…An early study by Bieger et al reported that body mass index (BMI) had no effect on complications after rTKA, whereas other studies noted a correlation between obesity and complications, readmissions, and worse functional outcomes after rTKA. [14][15][16][17] In addition, the potentially different influence of morbid obesity when compared with obesity on postoperative outcomes is little understood. Overall, a better understanding of this patient population characteristics and the effect of obesity and morbid obesity on postoperative complications and economic outcomes after rTKA is important for perioperative optimization and patient counseling and education, especially given the growing subset of obese patients among rTKA recipients.…”
