We performed a retrospective review of 309 consecutive revision THAs from 2005 to 2009. We identified a subgroup of patients with BMI > 35 and compared the operative time, rate of complications, ICU admissions, re-admissions, and re-operations to patients with BMI < 35 undergoing revision THA. At a mean follow-up of 36.3 months, there was no significant difference in operative time, perioperative complications, or re-admission rate between the two groups. However, a significantly higher rate of re-operation was observed in the obese group (46% vs. 28%, P = 0.015). Obese patients were more likely to undergo reoperation for infection (P = 0.017). Patients with high BMI contemplating primary THA should be aware of the potential subsequent complications associated with revision surgery should it become necessary.
