- W4384206997 abstract "Obesity is highly prevalent, and it is expected to grow considerably in the United States. The association between obesity and an increased risk of complications following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is widely accepted. Many believe that patients with body mass index (BMI) >40 have complications rates that may outweigh the benefits of surgery and should consider delaying it. However, the current literature on obesity and outcomes following TJA is observational, very heterogeneous, and full of confounding variables. BMI in isolation has several flaws and recent literature suggests shifting from an exclusively BMI <40 cutoff to considering 5 to 10% preoperative weight loss. BMI cutoffs to TJA may also restrict access to care to our most vulnerable, marginalized populations. Moreover, only roughly 20% of patients instructed to lose weight for surgery are successful and the practice of demanding mandatory weight loss needs to be reconsidered until convincing evidence exists that supports risk reduction as a result of preoperative weight loss. Obese patients can benefit greatly from this life-changing procedure. When addressing the potential difficulties and by optimizing preoperative assessment and intraoperative management, the surgery can be conducted safely. A multidisciplinary patient-centered approach with patient engagement, shared decision-making, and informed consent is recommended." @default.
