| Core Tip |
Obesity significantly increases the risk of postoperative complications and reduces surgical success rates in orthopedic patients. In this retrospective cohort, obese individuals had markedly higher complication rates and poorer outcomes than non-obese patients. These findings highlight the importance of targeted preoperative optimization, including weight management and careful risk stratification, to improve surgical outcomes in this high-risk population. |
