Abstract
As the clinical outcome of ALS-THA for the obese group is not inferior to that for the non-obese group, obesity is not considered to be a contraindication for ALS-THA. However, obesity increases the risk of intraoperative greater trochanteric fracture. Thus, surgeons should be particularly careful when manipulating the femur in this class of patients, who should be informed of this risk.
