Contrary To Common Assumption, The Obese Achieve Great Outcomes From Joint Replacement Surgery

So says ONE study.

After total knee replacement (TKR) surgery, patients who are morbidly obese have similar pain and function outcomes as patients who do not fall into this weight category, according to a new study by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery. The finding is surprising given that numerous studies have shown that obese patients have worse outcomes.

This is the crap that passes for news these days.

A load.

In more ways than one.
