Obesity Increases the Risk of Tendinopathy Tendon Tear and Rupture and Postoperative Complications: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies

摘要

Inflammation and mechanical demands play a role in the development of tendon conditions and the dysregulation of tendon healing. In patients with obesity, high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and a high mechanical demand promote chronic low-grade inflammation. Although controversial results have been reported, we aimed to summarize current evidence while highlighting the role of obesity in tendinopathy.
