Association of Complication Rates and Severe Obesity in Patients Undergoing Ankle Arthrodesis
In this retrospective review after TTA, increased rates of nonunion, revision, superficial infection, and readmission were found in obesity class III patients, compared with the reference group of normal weight or mildly overweight patients. Superficial infection rates were likewise relatively elevated in class I and readmission rates in class II patients.
