Body mass index and lower limb diameters in total knee arthroplasty outcomes and surgical planning
Body mass index affects lower limb sizes but does not predict implant sizing in TKA. Furthermore, no difference in patient satisfaction postoperatively between BMI categories was observed. The findings indicate that demographic factors may not be adequate to achieve precision in preoperative templating. Instead, surgical planning should be individualized, based on comprehensive anatomical measurements.
