| Core Tip |
Obesity should not preclude total ankle arthroplasty. Although large datasets show higher complication risks, obese and morbidly obese patients experience functional improvements comparable to non-obese individuals. Pain relief, mobility, and patient-reported outcomes improve meaningfully. With appropriate patient selection, counseling, and perioperative risk management, surgeons can make careful, inclusive decisions rather than excluding patients based solely on body mass, and individualized expectations across diverse clinical settings. |
