Nutrition in orthopaedic surgery

J E Jensen, T G Jensen, T K Smith

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume

    Summary

    Orthopaedic patients frequently experience malnutrition, impacting immunocompetence and increasing complication risks. Early detection and intervention are crucial for improving patient outcomes in surgical settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopaedic Surgery
    • Nutritional Science
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Malnutrition is a significant concern in patients undergoing orthopaedic procedures.
    • Clinical and subclinical malnutrition affects a substantial portion of surgical patients.
    • Nutritional status can impact surgical outcomes and recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of malnutrition in orthopaedic surgical patients.
    • To identify patient groups at higher risk for nutritional depletion.
    • To explore the correlation between nutritional status and post-operative complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 129 patients undergoing various orthopaedic surgical procedures.
    • Assessment of clinical and subclinical malnutrition incidence.
    • Statistical correlation between nutritional indices and complication development.

    Main Results:

    • An average malnutrition incidence of 42.4% was observed across all orthopaedic patients.
    • Patients with multiple trauma and femoral fractures showed the highest incidence (58.6%).
    • A significant correlation (p<0.05) was found between poor nutrition and increased complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Trauma and major orthopaedic surgery induce malnutrition and impair immunocompetence.
    • Suboptimal nutritional status is linked to a higher likelihood of post-operative complications.
    • A comprehensive strategy for malnutrition management in orthopaedic care is essential.
