Main Article Content

Abstract

Objectives: To analysis of the influence of overweight factors on clean incisions after osteosynthesis in the upper limb. Subjects and methods: 62 patients ≥18 years old had undergone osteosynthesis surgery in the upper limb, which was clean surgery, at Military Hospital 175 from March 2022 to May 2023, data were collected prospectively. Results and Conclusion: The average body mass index (BMI) of the study group is 23.28 ± 2.05 kg/m2. The smallest is 18.83 kg/m2 and the largest is 28.89 kg/m2. The proportion of overweight patients with BMI > 24.9 kg/m2 accounts for 16.13%. The rate of patients with diabetes was 7.69% in normal weight patients compared to 10% in overweight patients. The proportion of patients with preoperative blood glucose concentration ≥7 mmol/l was 17.31% in normal weight patients compared to 20% in overweight patients. The intermediate ASEPSIS scale in the excessive weight BMI group is higher than the medium BMI group, the difference is statistically significant (p < 0.05).
