A new government study recently released showed that a whopping 42% of Americans are obese. That is about 4 out of every 10 people. Studies show obesity to have negative affects on surgeries. The serious complications that happen in lean individuals are more likely the heavier you are. Paragon Orthopedic Center has guidelines for joint replacement surgery in order for you to avoid complications and experience maximum benefits from it. Obesity will not stop you from joint replacement surgery if you are motivated. Each surgical plan is tailored to your health. Dr. Bents and Dr. Van Horne take the job of having your surgery be successful very seriously, thoroughly discussing details with you for your individual plan. Educate yourself on what the effects of obesity are and get encouragement about losing the weight.
