Ten-year risk of complication and mortality after total hip arthroplasty in morbidly obese patients: a population study

The purpose of this study was to determine the association between morbid obesity and 10-year complications (revision surgery, reoperation, dislocation) and mortality in patients undergoing primary THA.
