Impact of Prior Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery on Outcomes of Total Knee and Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The current study evaluated the effects of prior metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) on complications after total knee/hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA). We performed a meta-analysis to assess the impact of prior MBS on TKA/THA outcomes.

Methods

Our systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science until September 2024. Thirteen studies were included in total, one of which was an RCT, and the others were retrospective studies.

Results

According to our findings, MBS was linked to decreased risk of peri-prosthetic joint infection in 853 MBS vs. 835 non-MBS patients (OR: 0.55, 95% CI : 0.31, 0.97, P value: 0.04), deep venous thromboembolism in 1074 MBS vs. 11948 non-MBS patients (OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.28, 0.86, P value: 0.01)
