Correlation between body mass index and two-stage revision failure of periprosthetic joint infection following total joint arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusion: Meta-analysis suggests that the risk of two-stage revision failure of PJI following TJA significantly boosted in obese patients. However, because there may be publication bias of this study, combined overall systematically evaluated and meta-analysis results, we cannot yet conclude that BMI is associated with two-stage revision failure of PJI following TJA.PMID:34913757 | DOI:10.1177/23094990211055231
