Abstract
This study suggests that obese class III TKA patients are at increased odds of superficial and deep SSI compared to other BMI cohorts. Interestingly, male obese class III patients demonstrated a higher rate of deep infection compared to their female counterparts. However, it must be noted that study findings are limited as confounders were unable to be accounted for in this retrospective study design.
