Abstract
Background: Obesity is an epidemic more apparent in many developed countries, like Australia. The effect upon total shoulder replacement (TSR) is not clear, with different studies reporting varying conclusions. This registry-based study offers a large-scale analysis of the effects of obesity on the risk of revision in anatomic TSR (aTSR) and reverse TSR (rTSR) for various indications.
Methods: This is an observational cohort analysis of data from a national arthroplasty registry. Primary aTSR for osteoarthritis, and primary rTSR for cuff arthropathy or fracture performed between January 2015 and December 2022 in Australia were included. Procedures were stratified by body mass index (BMI) groups and the cumulative percentage of revision (CPR) was compared between groups. The analyses were undertaken using Kaplan-Meier estimates of survivorship and hazard ratios (HR) from Cox proportional hazards models.
Results: There were 9,549 primary aTSR for osteoarthritis, 13,920 primary rTSR for cuff arthropathy and 4685 primary rTSR for fractures. In rTSR indicated for fracture, obese class III had an increased all-cause revision risk compared to normal BMI patients (HR=1.87, 95%CI: 1.13-3.10, p=0.014) throughout the entire follow-up period. In contrast, all-cause revision rates for aTSR for osteoarthritis and rTSR for rotator cuff arthropathy across BMI categories were not significantly different. There was an increased risk of revision for instability/dislocation in BMI class III compared to normal BMI patients after rTSR for fracture (HR=2.84, 95%CI: 1.43-5.63, p=0.002). Obese class 1 and obese class 2 patients receiving aTSR for osteoarthritis had a higher rate of revision for cuff insufficiency compared to normal BMI patients (Entire period HR=2.30, 95%CI: 1.17-4.55, p=0.016 and Entire period HR=2.10, 95%CI: 1.00-4.40, p=0.049, respectively).
Conclusion: Obesity has an increased risk of all-cause revisions and revision for instability/dislocation in patients receiving rTSR indicated for fractures. BMI was not associated with an increased risk of revision in primary aTSR indicated for osteoarthritis, nor for primary rTSR indicated for rotator cuff arthropathy. We recommend BMI class III patients undergoing rTSR for fracture to be counselled on their complication risks during the informed consenting process.
Level of evidence: Level III; Retrospective Cohort Comparison using Large Database; Prognosis Study.
期刊介绍:
The official publication for eight leading specialty organizations, this authoritative journal is the only publication to focus exclusively on medical, surgical, and physical techniques for treating injury/disease of the upper extremity, including the shoulder girdle, arm, and elbow. Clinically oriented and peer-reviewed, the Journal provides an international forum for the exchange of information on new techniques, instruments, and materials. Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery features vivid photos, professional illustrations, and explicit diagrams that demonstrate surgical approaches and depict implant devices. Topics covered include fractures, dislocations, diseases and injuries of the rotator cuff, imaging techniques, arthritis, arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and rehabilitation.
