Key Points

To assess the efficacy of preoperative weight loss interventions on body weight, body mass index, and postoperative complication rates in patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty.
Systematic review of randomized controlled trials assessing preoperative weight loss interventions in patients scheduled for hip and knee arthroplasty.
Preoperative weight loss interventions led to significant reductions in body weight and body mass index prior to arthroplasty.
Patients participating in preoperative weight loss programs experienced fewer postoperative complications following surgery.

Implication

Systematic review of randomized trials reveals preoperative weight loss lowers BMI and complications before arthroplasty, indicating potential surgical benefits.

Abstract

Weight loss intervention can achieve significant reductions in body weight and body mass index before arthroplasty, with fewer postoperative complications reported. Further studies with different populations could confirm the effect of these interventions among populations with different obesity characteristics.
