Smoking Cessation Success—Total Joint Arthroplasty as a Powerful Motivator
This study highlights the high percentage (28.2%) of smoking cessation success achieved within a single smoking cessation framework before TJA. These findings underscore the increased potential for success when smoking cessation efforts are motivated by improved function and pain relief offered by TJA. The addition of objective measures such as nicotine and cotinine testing may further increase smoking cessation rates by providing concrete measures of success.
