Given the rising prevalence of obesity, surgeons and hospitals must become more familiar with the treatment and operative management of obese patients. Several additional pre- and postoperative considerations must be involved such as appropriate assessment of comorbidities and requirements for special equipment. There are still very few data regarding morbidly obese patients with BMIs >50 kg/m(2). After a general literature review of operative management of obese patients, we report on fracture care of the lower limb in such patients with custom-made Ilizarov ring fixators. We found them suited to bear enormous weight-loading but that associated comborbidities can limit successful fracture care.
