Do Stemmed Tibial Components in Total Knee Arthroplasty Improve Outcomes in Patients With Obesity?

Abstract: Background Recent clinical studies have reported that patients with higher body mass index (BMI) are more likely to experience premature failure of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), lower knee scores, and perhaps more pain in the prosthetic joint. However, it is not known whether certain implant design features such as tibial stems might be associated with differences in the frequency of tibial pain in patients with higher BMIs.

“…An elevated BMI has been debated as a risk factor for early tibia loosening [26] [27]. In our study, patients who that underwent revision TKA for aseptic loosening had an average BMI of 31; obesity was not a significant risk factor for failure, a result that differs from previous studies [21][22] [28].…”

“…Increased loading and altered kinematics of joints in obese patients caused higher incidence of aseptic loosening and medial collapse [ 132 ]. To avoid early revisions, it was recommended that cemented stemmed tibial implants can be considered in the morbidly obese patients [ 132 , 133 ], however, studies on the efficacy of this technique are limited.…”

“…The SF‐12 has been used as an outcome measure in clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of a broad range of interventions for rheumatic conditions, including pharmacological treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, and hand ; hydrotherapy treatment for osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia ; Tai Chi for hip or knee osteoarthritis ; hand exercises for rheumatoid arthritis ; foot orthoses for rheumatoid arthritis ; self‐management for fibromyalgia ; surgical procedures, eg, total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty ; and postsurgical rehabilitation (exercise following total knee arthroplasty) .…”
