Morbid Obesity: A Significant Risk Factor for Failure of Two-Stage Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty for Infection

BACKGROUND:Morbid obesity (BMI [body mass index], ≥40 kg/m) is associated with a higher risk of complications, including infection and implant failure, following primary total hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of two-stage revision total hip arthroplasty for infe...

Summary:BACKGROUND:Morbid obesity (BMI [body mass index], ≥40 kg/m) is associated with a higher risk of complications, including infection and implant failure, following primary total hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of two-stage revision total hip arthroplasty for infection in a morbidly obese patient cohort (BMI, ≥40 kg/m) and nonobese patients (BMI,
