Obesity is associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis of the hip due to the pressure the extra weight exerts on the joint [97–99]. Despite this around 81% of European orthopaedic surgeons consider obesity to be a poor prognostic factor in patients undergoing elective THR [100]. Obesity is thought to increase operative time in total
hip replacement [101], thromboembolism [102, 103], blood loss [104], postoperative infection [105,106],and dislocation rates in the short term [107,108].
