Waist‐To‐Hip Ratio Is More Predictive of Patients‐Reported Outcomes After Total Joint Arthroplasty Than Body Mass Index: A Prospective Cohort Study

Preoperative WHR assessment may help surgeons improve risk stratification and better educate obese patients regarding postoperative expectations prior to elective TKA.
