Recommendations of an international Delphi study group for total knee arthroplasty in obese patients
This indicates lack of consensus on a majority of issues among experts and further research is required in this field to address evidence gaps, so we can improve our management of this increasing cohort of patients undergoing TKA. The statements reaching consensus form an important set of recommendation to improve patient selection and outcomes. Level of evidence Level V.
