The Role of Concurrent Thigh Lifts in Obese Patients With Transfemoral Osseointegrated Prostheses
Our study results showed that obese patients with OI prostheses experienced fewer complications when they underwent CTL compared to those who did not. In addition, outcomes in obese patients with CTL were comparable to patients with normal BMIs. Our findings highlight the advantages of incorporating CTL by plastic surgeons for obese patients undergoing OI prostheses procedures.
