About this document
THR-morbid Obesity by Mohan Desai is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes research on outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in morbidly obese patients. It finds morbidly obese patients undergo THA at a younger age than non-obese patients. Multiple studies also report higher complication rates and worse functional scores both before and after surgery, though morbidly obese patients experience similar gains in function to non-obese patients after THA.
