Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Bone Metabolism
  • Wound Healing

Background:

  • Cigarette smoking is increasingly scrutinized in orthopedic surgery.
  • Smoking is linked to impaired bone metabolism and fracture repair.
  • Smoking elevates risks of postoperative infection and nonunion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the impact of smoking on orthopedic surgery.
  • To discuss adverse effects on bone healing and surgical outcomes.
  • To explore the pathophysiologic mechanisms of nicotine.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current knowledge on smoking and orthopedic surgery.
  • Analysis of studies on bone metabolism, fracture repair, and infection rates.
  • Examination of nicotine's pathophysiologic effects.

Main Results:

  • Smoking impedes bone metabolism and fracture repair.
  • Smoking increases postoperative infection rates and nonunion incidence.
  • Smoking adversely affects wound healing and microsurgical procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Smoking poses significant risks in orthopedic surgery.
  • Understanding nicotine's mechanisms is crucial for patient care.
  • Smoking cessation interventions are vital for optimizing surgical outcomes.
