Relationship Between Revision Rate, Osteoarthritis, and Obesity for ACL Reconstruction: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study
This study highlights that obesity does not increase the revision rate of ACL reconstruction. However, the risk of additional surgical treatment for osteoarthritis and meniscal lesions increased as BMI increased. Further investigation is needed to determine the efficacy of ACL reconstruction for preventing osteoarthritis in obese patients.
