Patients undergoing THA/TKA, higher BMI was associated with lower pre-operative expectations, poorer well-being before surgery, and worse scores after surgery. Patients who were obese demonstrated comparable satisfaction with their operated joint, compared with non-obese patients. BMI was associated with greater pre- to post-operative improvements in outcome scores for EQ-5D, VAS knee, OHS/OKS and joint pain but these differences may not be clinically important.
