Abstract
More wound complications occurred in patients with high PASTI, while no difference was seen using BMI. BMI has traditionally approximated patient size, but does not describe variations in body habitus. PASTI is a more reliable and direct way to assess the periarticular soft tissue envelope size, which is associated with postoperative wound complications in the knee.
