Article Synopsis
- Increased body mass index (BMI) may affect outcomes and complications after shoulder surgeries (aTSA and rTSA), but its long-term impact on these procedures is not fully known.
- A study tracked 466 patients who underwent TSA from 2009 to 2020, categorizing them by BMI into underweight/normal weight, overweight, and obese, while analyzing their demographics, comorbidities, and functional outcomes.
- Results showed significant improvements in range of motion and strength post-surgery across all BMI groups, with no notable differences in patient-reported outcomes or survival rates based on BMI.
