Obesity is associated with poorer range of motion and Tegner scores following hamstring autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in Asians

Abstract

Obese patients had poorer range of motion and Tegner scores as compared to their nonobese counterparts following primary ACLR.

The influence of body mass index on physical activity engagement following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A systematic literature review

“…All investigations were available in electronic databases between 2010 and 2021. Out of 10 observational studies, there were 7 cohort [ [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , 40 ] and 3 cross-sectional [ [41] , [42] , [43] ] research. In terms of the level of evidence, one study reported level I [ 35 ], 5 investigations level II [ 36 , 38 , 39 , 42 , 40 ], and 4 articles level III [ 34 , 37 , 41 , 43 ].…”

Furthermore, 7171 individuals with a history of ACLR participated in studies that were involved in the final analysis.…”

“…Concerning reconstruction types, primary unilateral ACLR was most common, while revision surgery was also observed in several studies. A follow-up period was reported in nine [ [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [42] , [43] ] of ten research. The average time between ACLR and the evaluation of the influence of BMI on the physical activity of the examined population was approximately four years.…”

Risk Factors Associated With Poor Outcomes After Quadriceps Tendon Repair

“…21 Several studies that have examined soft tissue injuries of the knee have shown the negative impact of obesity on ROM, which is consistent with the findings of this study. 6,19 Smoking has been implicated widely across medicine as associated with poor wound healing and an array of pathology. The documented effects of byproduct toxic compounds found within cigarette smoke-such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen cyanide-suggest possible mechanisms for impaired wound healing.…”
