“…The literature also supports the fact that there is no difference in the duration of hospital stay between these two groups, although the difficulty in positioning the patient, surgical exposure, and implantation have led to a higher incidence of operation time in the obese group, especially in morbid obese patients (21,25,26,30,31). It has been reported that the risk of deep infection is 3-9 times higher in morbid obese patients with TKA (5,8,9,22,32). In this study, the only patient who had a deep infection diagnosis postoperatively was in the obese group and was morbidly obese.…”

“…Studies have shown that for every 5 kg/m 2 increase in body weight, the risk of knee osteoarthritis increased by 35% [ 2 , 3 ]. However, it is controversial whether high BMI is a negative factor that affects the outcomes of primary TKAs [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. A clinical study of 199 patients by Daniilidis et al showed no significant negative effect of obesity on outcomes after TKA [ 6 ].…”

“…A clinical study of 199 patients by Daniilidis et al showed no significant negative effect of obesity on outcomes after TKA [ 6 ]. In contrast, Başdelioğlu et al reported that obesity was one of the most critical risk factors for aseptic prosthetic loosening [ 4 ], which was one of the most common and severe complications after TKA, accounting for 29.8% of revision surgeries [ 10 , 11 ]. It is necessary to figure out the effect of BMI on the aseptic loosening of the knee prosthesis.…”

“…The direct and indirect effects of obesity imply that patients with a higher BMI should have worse postoperative alignment after TKA, resulting in worse long-term function and lower prosthesis survival rates ( 6 , 9 ). However, there is no definitive BMI cutoff that accurately separates high-risk patients from low-risk patients.…”
