Abstract
ABSTRACT Objectives: This study aims to compare early postoperative functional activities of obese or non-obese patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Patients and methods: The study included 45 patients (17 males, 28 females; mean age 64.6±8.6 years; range 45 to 78 years) who were operated due to coxarthrosis. Patients were assigned to two groups as obese (body mass index [BMI] >30 kg/m2, n=21) and non-obese (BMI Results: While there was significant difference between non-obese patients’ intragroup functional movement levels preoperatively and at discharge (p<0.05), there were no difference in the same intragroup values of obese patients (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between obese and non-obese patients in terms of functional movements and ambulation velocities on postoperative second and sixth days and at discharge (p>0.05).
Conclusion: According to our study findings, obesity has no effect in early postoperative period on functional activities in patients who underwent THA.
