COMPARISON OF FUNCTIONAL RESULTS OF ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION IN OBESE PATIENTS WITH NORMAL INDIVIDUALS

Abstract

Objective Obesity is one of the most challenging diseases in orthopedic surgery which directly affects the clinical results of the operations. Many studies in the literature demonstrated the effects of obesity on orthopedic surgery. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is commonly seen in young and active individuals and generally treated surgically. In this study, we had the intention to investigate the effect of obesity on the clinical results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Material and Methods 180 patients were retrospectively evaluated whom operated between September 2012 - June 2016. The patients are divided into 2 groups according to their body mass index (BMI). All patients were operated on in a single center and by a single senior surgeon. BMI<25 kg/m2 patients formed Group 1 (n=113), BMI>30 kg/m2 patients formed the Group 2 (n=67). Age, gender, BMI of the patients, waiting time for the operation, preoperative and postoperative Lysholm and modified Cincinnati scores were compared between these two groups.A p-value less than 0.05 (typically ≤ 0.05) is statistically significant. Results There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of complication, follow-up periods, waiting time before operation, and pre-op and postop Lysholm scores, and post-op modified Cincinnati scores. A significant difference has been found between the groups in pre-op modified Cincinnati scores. Conclusion ACL reconstruction surgery has similar results in the obese population compared to the normal weight population in terms of functional further studies and other parameters are needed to verify these results.
