Non-infectious complications of primary total hip arthroplasty in patients with obesity

The long-term survival of the prosthesis and the likelihood of revision after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) are largely dependent on the weight of the patients. The results of numerous studies have shown that during the first 5 years after the initial operation, obese patients underwent revision surgery more often than patients with normal weight.The aim of our study was to determine the effect of obesity on the results of primary THA during the first 5 years after surgery, to assess the structure, nature and frequency of revision surgery in obese patients.A retrospective study was conducted at the Clinic of Traumatology, Orthopedics and Joint Pathology of Sechenov University, where from 2011 to 2015, primary THA were treated in 1885 patients with various pathologies of the hip joint, there were 1,080 (57.2%) women and 805 men (42 ,8). According to the degree of obesity, patients are divided into 4 groups: patients with normal weight accounted for 63.9%, 1 degree of obesity - 23...
