There is a debate on whether obesity defined by the body mass index, i.e. the ratio of weight to squared height, can guide surgical eligibility and whether losing excess weight preoperatively can actually lead to better outcomes. In this practice development article, we explore opposing perspectives on the value of a high BMI as an indicator of increased preoperative risk and discuss the potential consequences of losing weight prior to a major orthopaedic surgery. The aim is to promote a conscious management of individuals with excess body fat based on the patient's overall health rather than BMI alone. In the absence of strong evidence on what is best to do, it is reasonable to suggest that any prehabilitation initiatives should not focus on a rigid weight loss mandate but on a multidisciplinary, multimodal, and personalised approach that does not necessarily include a reduction in body weight.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45099,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 101192"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144098463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standardised screening protocols involving respiratory muscle function tests are recommended to identify suitable candidates, with structured IMT programs ideally commencing 6–8 weeks before surgery. Implementing IMT within an enhanced recovery pathway may enhance the ability for early mobilisation, improve oxygenation, and support the functional recovery of patients. While IMT has demonstrated efficacy in various surgical populations, its specific benefits to orthopaedic patients require further consideration and investigation. Indeed, future research should focus on optimising IMT protocols and assessing patient outcomes in the short-term (e.g. length of stay and complications), and the medium-term (e.g. return to activities of daily living). By incorporating IMT into prehabilitation and rehabilitation protocols, we propose that healthcare systems may be able to improve surgical outcomes and patients’ well<strong>-</strong>being while reducing postoperative complications and healthcare burden for at-risk patients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45099,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 101193"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144154742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
